I think this program is VITAL for Individuals working with families. It's not a theoretical class - it's a hands-on course that really teaches professionals how to best interact with clients/families. In my opinion, some degree of Coaching class is valuable. An example of how it's helped me grow (or rather, step back) is as a Breastfeeding Counselor. While we pride ourselves in being evidence-based, we are not clinicians - we are counselors - here to support and encourage. Every day I see my BC colleagues lecturing moms on "evidence-based information" - and frustrated when moms don't follow their advice. We have forgotten that we aren't clinicians, but support persons, and no longer take the time to do what I learned in Parent Coaching - listening, affirming, guiding parents through identifying their OWN goals, etc. The Parent Coaching program helped me grow personally and professionally. It changed how I interact with everyone - not just parents or people I work with. It taught me to listen, not lecture, and only educate when invited to. - Arica Goulet, M.A. (Parent Coaching Certificate Recipient) |
