“Great hands-on activities easily implemented and we have noticed a change both … as reported by parents … and teachers.”
Register online for the Cognitive Behavioral Resiliency Professional Certification and Curriculum for Early Childhood. Participants of the certification gain insight into the concept of the connection between a child’s emotion and thoughts and that of their behavior in the classroom which impact the child’s social and emotional growth and their ability to learn.
This course will prepare educators and other individuals working with children to provide ten comprehensive lessons to teach students about their emotions, thoughts, and actions and how to acknowledge and navigate them. Through the certification’s curriculum, participants also learn how to provide student-centered cognitive behavioral supports in the classroom and home.
The self-paced curriculum includes 15 hours of course content and 15 modules of research-based readings, case scenarios, multi-media materials, assignments, and quizzes.
Southeast ROTA Recovery Center Network
Florida State University College of Social Work’s Stoops Center for Communities, Families, and Children (CFC Center) received a two-year federal grant, funding the Southeast Rural Opioid Technical Assistance Regional Center (ROTA-RC). Under the grant, the CFC Center is partnering with Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) Cooperative Extension Program and Department of Social Work to assist in the outreach, education and engagement of rural communities in the region.
ROTA-RC seeks to develop and disseminate training and technical assistance to address opioid and stimulant use affecting rural communities in the eight states in Region 4. ROTA-R will expand awareness of opioid and stimulate use, harm reduction, and options for treatment to improve the resiliency of the targeted 168 rural communities.
