Support Services for Helping Professionals
Do you work in community services helping to support people to grow, heal and thrive? There are so many individuals working diligently in the community who are asked to help and serve others who can benefit from training and supportive services while working with systems and families. YFTI can provide individualized services developed for your unique needs and setting – case management, after school programming, respite services, shelter programs, medical practices and first responders to name just a few!
Support Services for Community & Organizational Leaders
Leaders inspire us to stay focused on our professional mission and our personal growth. They foster hope and belief in the ability of the team to create change and they face real challenges while accomplishing their work. YFTI is here to support the people who support the people! We offer services designed to arrive at creative and collaborative solutions to systemic challenges. We help teams to create a culture conducive to staff retention and effective delivery of services.
Support Services for School Professionals
School professionals seek to support the social, emotional and educational development of students while facing complex needs and dilemmas. As part of the student’s natural support system, school staff are often the first to recognize student need and are often tasked with collaborating with families and students to provide direct support and to create a bridge to mental health and community services for students. From early intervention services to K-12 and beyond, YFTI can support effective approaches to student and family support within the school community.
ESFT Training for Agencies Providing Family Based Mental Health Services
Family Based Programs are licensed by the State to provide in home, team delivered, intensive family therapy to families with children who are at risk for removal from their home and community as a result of psychiatric crisis, child protection or legal system involvement. Each Family Based staff member is enrolled in our 3-year training program where they learn the skills necessary to intervene with complex system dynamics using Eco-Systemic Structural Family Therapy (ESFT). Likewise, in training, Family Based supervisors receive support to grow their supervisory skills within the ESFT model and receive technical assistance to administer the clinical service effectively. Graduation from the ESFT training program results in the opportunity to test to become certified as a Family Based clinician in the State of Pennsylvania.
