We now offer workshops at a wide variety of levels. The training consists of five modules of generic training and one module of orientation to a division of services - either Family and Children's Services or Adult or Adult Services. These workshops introduce participants to basic issues, knowledge and skills required to deliver services in those program areas. For example, Investigative Interviewing or Authority Based Practice with Involuntary Clients would be fundamental courses cutting across the program areas of CPS, APS, or family preservation and other in-home child welfare services. Core workshops are related to basic functioning in work roles.
Advanced workshops tend to be either more skills focused, or more focused on advanced knowledge.
Examples of such workshops include workshops related to drugs and addiction, family violence workshops, workshops related to grief and loss, HIV AIDS workshops, and workshops related to ethical practice. Clinical roles are those in which practitioners work as primary change-agents applying theory to practice. These workshops develop advanced clinical knowledge and skills related to helping others to change not by offering or brokering services and referrals, but by providing direct therapeutic services of any type or duration. This workshop is also for those who supervise practitioners providing such services.
