This training is open to the public.
This training will help professionals enhance their capacity to respond to others and communicate based on developmental principles and personal reflection. NCRP uses the Facilitating Attuned Interactions (FAN) model for reflective practice created by the Erikson Institute.
Training Components
The NCRP Reflective Practice FAN Training Program consists of four main parts:
Pre-Training Reflective Consultation: September 2026
Pre-Training Reflective Consultation will begin in September 2026, specific dates and times will be scheduled by your mentor. Each training participant will have the opportunity to participate in four pre-training group reflective consultation sessions. These reflective consultation sessions are intended to enhance the training experience by providing participants with an opportunity to experience reflective practice prior to the initial training. These sessions will help participants connect reflective practice concepts and skills with real life experiences.
Initial Training: November 17 and 18, 2026
This two day training will build the foundational knowledge you'll need to provide reflective practice using the FAN model to the people you serve.
In this training, you will:
- Learn the foundations of reflective practice
- Explore the FAN model of attuned interaction and its core processes in depth
- Develop the skills needed to provide reflective practice using the FAN model
- Participate in an interactive, trainee-focused experience
Mentoring Sessions: November 2026 - May 2027
To complete the NCRP Reflective Practice FAN Training Program, you are required to attend at least five mentoring sessions with your trainers. These sessions are intended to be a space for you process your experiences with reflective practice, celebrate your successes, and work through any barriers you may encounter. Sessions will be held on a monthly basis.
Advanced Training: May 18, 2027
This training will refine the reflective practice skills you developed in the first training and go over more advanced concepts in the FAN model.
All parts of the FAN training will occur through Zoom video conferencing.
