Resiliency-Focused Mentoring Training

RFMT is a comprehensive, 5-hour certification curriculum for professionals who interact with children impacted by Childhood Domestic Violence (CDV) or other major childhood adversities. It incorporates the most prominent neuroscience and psychology research and best practices. In addition, the program applies the key principles of resiliency theory. It leads from research and resiliency theory to practical application by guiding trainees in a clear, simple path through the strategies, techniques, concrete steps, and key messages that can be applied to foster resiliency and achieve optimal outcomes in children impacted by trauma. The program is an intensive 5-hour distance learning course that incorporates video lectures, experiential learning, course evaluations, and testing. It comprises seven core sections that each consist of a presentation in video format, followed by an experiential section where trainees are asked to apply and practice what they’ve learned. The video lectures are delivered by Dr. Everly.
