Foundational Reflective Learning Collaborative 2025
(Hybrid Experience: In-Person Training/Online RSC)
Best practice in serving young children and families includes a workforce who receives ongoing support and opportunities for reflection about both the successes and the challenges encountered in their work.
​Reflective supervision/consultation (RSC) is a form of intentional, regularly scheduled professional support that focuses on enhancing the reflective capacity of professionals in order to increase the quality of services to children & families and to support staff wellbeing, job satisfaction, and retention.​
Reflective supervision/consultation:
-
supports staff to provide services in ways that support healthy relationships and optimal growth and development of the child
-
encourages staff and family wellbeing, and
-
supports staff through difficult situations they encounter in their work with families.
Description:
FAIMH brings a foundational experience for professional to learn and experience RSC. The Learning Collaborative offers both training and low-cost, small-group RSC sessions over 7 months. Open to all professionals who want to learn more about Reflective Supervision/Consultation (RSC)!
Training will cover key principles and practices of RSC. Beginning after Training Day 1, participants will participate in an RSC Group through December 2025.
This experience offers you two of the requirements to become an Endorsed Reflective Supervisor: 15 hours towards competency-based training specifically on the provision of RSC, and up to 14 hours of RSC by an Endorsed Reflective Supervisor.
Training (In-person): Participants will learn key principles of RSC and will develop skills and strategies that can enhance their reflective capacities, supporting their professional growth and development.
RSC Group (Online): will be held approximally twice monthly via Zoom, starting after Training Day 1 and running through December 2025. This comprehensive experience of both learning about and participating in RSC will prepare you to earn Endorsement® as an Endorsed Reflective Supervisor/Consultant who can then provide this service to your staff in your organization and/or privately to others in Florida seeking Endorsement®. FAIMH brings you this opportunity with a deeply discounted rate for Members at only $20 per hour of RSC.

Technology Requirements:
To ensure the best possible experience for all participants, the program relies on online video conferencing, which has minimum requirements to work properly. You will need a desktop or laptop computer with speakers, microphone, and webcam, and a high-speed internet connection. Laptops work best because they come with all the necessary equipment and can easily be moved from room to room in your home or office to find a quiet place.
