Training
Coldspring Center is committed to providing quality, evidence-informed training. Our goal is to increase system and organizational capacity so that all
people receiving services have access to programs that are person-centered and trauma-informed, and staff that are skilled, compassionate, and committed to equity.
Our programs are designed to build confidence and competence by offering opportunities to practice new skills (with activities such as scenarios, reflections,
demonstration, discussion, role play/modeling, collaborative whiteboard). We understand that adult learning requires ongoing practice, and we work with
organizations to support staff beyond their online or virtual trainings, through coaching, practice sessions, and facilitation guides that can be used to
encourage continued learning. Organizations and systems of care that implement our trainings build a common language and focus, increase opportunities for
collaboration that can facilitate long-term change, and improve program quality and outcomes.
Our trainings are available as self-paced online courses or facilitated virtual trainings with options to customize or develop courses to meet the specific needs
of an organization or setting.
Online Training: Working with the latest technology, we offer on-demand, self-paced trainings that average 30-45 minutes in
length. Learners may stop mid-course and return to where they left off. Each course also includes download-able tools and resources. Online training
allows for flexible implementation and individual pacing, which leads to improved knowledge retention and integration.
Facilitated Virtual Training: Virtual trainings are offered live using Zoom. Trainers utilize a participant-centered workshop approach, which includes interactions and
adult learning activities to maximize retention and application of concepts. Each facilitated training includes an
Activity handout
that supports the interactions included in the session, a
Practice Tools handout that supports implementation and continued learning
after the training, and a
Slides and References handout of the material covered.
Blended Learning: Blended learning combines the accessibility and flexibility of the online training format with the pragmatic interactive workshop opportunities of the virtual training format.
