Greetings,

Could you please forward or post the Train the Trainer AD to others who may be interested in this evidence based training opportunity taking place in Kenora. The training is FREE

Reaching In Reaching Out (RIRO) is an evidence based resiliency skills training program designed to help adults help children (0-6 years of age) develop a resilient approach to handling life’s stresses and challenges.  Both small and large organizations are welcome to identify a staff member to be trained as their trainer, who would then in turn spread the information to their larger organization  

The 0-6 Children’s Mental Health Northern Network will host a ‘Reaching In, Reaching Out’ Train the Trainer event from June 11th – 15th in Kenora.  Please see the following program information and feel free to visit the website at www.reachinginreachingout.com as well.  

The registration form must be directed to Tammy Ross at Algoma Family Services (see registration form) by Monday, May 28th.  Space is limited and preference will be given to those with training backgrounds and ready access to a group of professionals and paraprofessionals who work with young children and their families.

Resiliency Promotion – TRAIN-the-TRAINER opportunity

Reaching IN…Reaching OUT (RIRO) is an evidence-based resiliency skills training program for professionals / paraprofessionals. It helps adults help children develop a resilient approach to handling life’s inevitable stresses and challenges. More information about RIRO can be found at:

www.reachinginreachingout.com.

RIRO has received funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to pilot its “Train-the-Trainers” program aimed at Ontario’s Early Learning & Child Care training professionals. This five-day train-the-trainers program and training materials are provided at no charge; a $10.00 fee will be charged for food per day. For more details about the training program, please contact us at the email address below.

The 0-6 Children's Mental Health Northern Network will host the next RIRO “TRAIN-the-TRAINER” event on:

June 11-15, 2007

240 Lakeview Drive
Super 8 Convention Centre

Kenora, Ontario
8:30am to 4pm

(Trainers working in NORTHERN Ontario are given priority)

Who should apply?

Experienced trainers in the ELCC community with access to a ready network should apply. While we are targeting trainers from larger ELCC provider organizations and umbrella groups, trainers from smaller organizations are also eligible.

In exchange for the free training, participants will be asked to commit to offer RIRO skills training at least once in their institution/ready network in the six-month period after the training. Because this is a pilot event, participants will be asked to take part in the evaluation of the training.

Organizations sponsoring participants are asked to commit to offering ongoing RIRO skills training within their organizations at least once a year after the initial six-month period.

How will the training be taken out to the communities?

After the 5-day trainers’ event, participants will be prepared to deliver both parts of the RIRO Resiliency Skills Training (Adult Skills and Child Applications) as well as the Community and Parent Information Sessions. Ongoing support through email, telephone and website will be provided to participants.

RIRO’s evidence-based model has been modularized providing trainers with the flexibility to adapt the delivery format to meet their community’s needs. Both RIRO’s adult skills and child applications training can be delivered in full-day, 2-half-day or shorter formats (for “lunch-time” or “after work” series).

Registration:

Contact Tammy Ross at tross@algomafamilyservices.org or 705-945-5058 ext. 2422 for a registration form and further information about the trainers’ program. Space is limited, so please register early.
