Promoting First Relationship (PFR) Reflective Consultation is a monthly, protected time that gives ESIT providers the opportunity to explore their work with families and young children in a safe, supportive space. It offers a time for providers to reflect about their own needs and to reflect about the emotional needs of both parents/caregivers and children utilizing the PFR lens. These groups also provide an opportunity to hear and learn from other perspectives.  Participants report feeling increased joy and competence in their work and increased empathy for the families they work with. 

Participants may count these hours toward Reflective Supervision hours for Infant Mental Health Endorsement (previously WA-AIMH endorsement). Attendees must be ESIT professionals who have attended PFR level 1 training or above.

Please consider accepting this invitation to participate in a facilitated support group for mental health providers including:

  • Psychologists, social workers, MFT’s, and LPC’s
  • Other providers who are endorsed through the Center for Early Relational Health as Infant Early Childhood Specialists or Infant Early Childhood Mental Health Specialists*.

Participants must be either employed by, or under contract with, ESIT provider agencies and engaged in work supporting enrolled infants, toddlers, and families. In addition to fostering connections with colleagues doing similar work, this is an opportunity to share insights that can inform systems and policies that support this important work.

Groups will be skillfully facilitated by Dr. Barbara Stroud a licensed psychologist with over three decades of culturally informed clinical practice in early childhood development and mental health.

This is a monthly 45-minute group with 8-9 participants, offered in a 6-month series. You will be asked to make a 6-month commitment when registering for the group.

For questions about this opportunity or to request accommodations, please email: dcyf.ESITtraining@dcyf.wa.gov.
