First Approach Skills Training – Behavior Basics (FAST-B): Key Skills for Engaging Caregivers in Video-Guided Care to Address Challenging Behaviors in Youth

We are so excited to announce that the Washington Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (WCAAP) and the First Approach Skills Training (FAST) team at Seattle Children’s Hospital are hosting a one-day training led by FAST team psychologists Drs. China Bolden, Kate Benjamin and Jessica Jenness. To attend this training, either in person or virtually, please fill out this form: forms.cloud.microsoft….

This training is geared towards teaching paraprofessionals (e.g., peer support specialists, community health workers) strategies for engaging caregivers in the video-guided FAST-B behavior management training program that shares best practices and practical tips caregivers can use at home to help children with behavior challenges such as not following instructions, arguing, managing big emotions and more. While this training is geared towards peer specialists and community health workers, we also welcome other professionals supporting families with behavioral challenges (e.g., primary care providers, nurses, licensed mental health care professionals).

In-person attendance is highly preferred, but please inquire about hybrid virtual attendance options if in-person attendance is not possible. Contact Ian Scott at [email protected] with any questions about the training.
