Our colleagues at Smarterparenting.com ,a service of Utah Youth Village, have put together a wonderful video about the Teaching-Family Model. This evidence based model of care provides the foundation of Northern Family Intervention Services relationship-based care for families dealing with emotional or behavioral challenges. Our agency has been an Accredited Teaching-Family program since 1996. The Model just makes sense. Recruit, Hire and Train the right staff. Support those staff and provide the tools and support to teach practical skills to families. For more information about the Teaching-Family Model, feel free to contact our agency. If you are a parent looking for practical tools that work with challenging behaviors of children, be sure to check out the smarterparenting.com website.
