Question:
Do we have any resources for trainings or evidence based models that supervised visitation centers utilize at their centers? I am working on comparing our model to theirs and trainings to advance and improve our services.
Answer:
Thank you for your question about resources for training. Although we do not have information specific to visitation centers, the Community Tool Box (CTB) offers some guidance for training generally that you could apply to your efforts. Several CTB resources may be particularly helpful:
- CTB Chapter 10. Hiring and Training Staff of Community Organizations https://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/structure/hiring-and-training ; especially Chapter 10, Section 7 Developing Training Programs for Staff https://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/structure/hiring-and-training/training-programs/main
- CTB Chapter 11: Recruiting and Training Volunteers. https://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/structure/volunteers
- CTB Chapter 12: Providing Training and Technical Assistance https://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/structure/training-and-technical-assistance ; especially Chapter 12, Section 2: Designing a Training Session https://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/structure/training-and-technical-assistance/design-training-session/main
These resources are free, and we encourage you to make good use of them in your efforts to train others.
