“I truly appreciated the attention to parallel process throughout training with our trainer and producer (tech support) responding to our cues, holding space for participants, using different engagement strategies, encouraging expression of our feelings, supporting our regulation through well-spaced breaks, promoting reciprocal interactions, and creating opportunities for boosting oxytocin.”
“AAP-CA3's support plays a critical behind the scenes role in strengthening our ability to serve families well. Impact is felt through the training and technical assistance they provide to our team. AAP’s support enhances the quality and consistency of the services families receive. For example, AAP-CA3 helps us stay aligned with HFA model fidelity and supports continuous quality improvement efforts. That kind of infrastructure support may not be visible to family's day to day, but it creates a more stable and well-equipped team that does impact families, even if indirectly, thus, AAP-CA3 supports US so we can better support families and THAT is their impact on the families we serve.”
