Advanced Training
Emerge conducts a two day Advanced Training twice per year at the Arlington Unitarian Universalist Church, near the Emerge office.
Trainings are held in April and October
Register here for our upcoming October 21-22, 2010 training
For people who have attended an Emerge Introductory training and want to continue to educate themselves on how to work with abusers, we offer a more advanced training designed to help improve counselor skills.
Counselors who have attended a different power & control model training (such as Duluth) may attend, but we recommend that participants attend an introductory Emerge course first.
Topics Include:
- Learn more details about later-stage group interventions
- Discussing challenging cases encountered when working with abusers. Both individual client cases and overall group issues are discussed. Problems related to agency policies can also be discussed
- Discussion of new and developing educational activities, strategies and interventions
- Viewing Emerge group sessions on DVD to examine specific interventions
- Discussion of strengths and limitations of group leader styles
- Expanded discussion of parenting issues for abusers
- More examples of specific activities that can be conducted during the “Taking a Turn” exercise
- Advanced role-playing examples and discussion
- This training is conducted three times per year at the Emerge office.
Tuition for this course is $200, and 13 continuing education credits are offered.
This training can be conducted as an out of state training.
Our next Advanced Training is October 21-22, 2010. Enrollment link for this and other Emerge Advanced trainings, coming soon!
