C.E.U'S - Youth Violence Prevention Specialist Training

Why Should I Become a Youth Violence Prevention Specialist?

If you are a professional who has daily or regular contact with children between the ages of 6 and 18, becoming a violence prevention specialist through FEEL Psychotherapies could assist you in gaining the skills necessary to identify risk factors, understand stages of severity of violence exposure and experience, understand developmental factors that contribute to the problem, and to understand how children are impacted emotionally, mentally, physical and or sexually by abuse. You would also learn how best to interrupt the process of self-harm through the transference of abuse patterns, to work collaboratively with youth to form a safety plan, gain a deeper understanding of ethical and legal considerations involved when interceding in bullying, and many learn of the harmful long-term and short term effects of trauma.

What could I do with my Certification?

Being Certified as a Youth Violence Prevention Specialist could allow you to identify yourself as an individual who could assist youth in building communication, negotiation, collaboration, and support skills. Having your certification listed on your resume with the learned skills could mean success at attaining youth-based employment. It could also assist you in getting the continued educational credits you may need for undergraduate or graduate educational requirements. In addition, you could use what you learn through the course to train youth to become youth violence prevention strategy collaborators. You could also incorporate your learned skills in any educational or vocational environment. Mental health specialists could gain valuable applications of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as students. The information that you learn through the course could also be helpful in use in any professional or social setting

How long are the courses?

Our In-service training course lasts two weeks. We also offer an accelerated course that lasts for one week. Any in-service dates or times must be coordinated among representatives of collaborating organizations. Organizational leaders of both FEEL Psychotherapies LLC and the hosting organization must agree on the cost and dates that the course will be held. We are flexible in this regard. Payments must be made prior to the start of any course. In the case of in-service training, at least a week in advance. A list of participant's contact information is required at that time.

Our Online course is: emergingeducationalsolutions.moodlecloud.com

It is a self-paced course curriculum program. Participants can retake quizzes at least six times before they are shut out of the portal. To be considered successfully completed, participants must get a score of 80 or above on each section. Instructions for navigating the system are sent when payment for the online course is made.

How would my organization benefit from using the in-service training

The In-service training course offers a hands-on approach to teaching anger management, social perspective taking, decision making, social problem solving, mental health and its contributions to violence, conflict management, social problem solving, active listening, and effective communication skills. Your organization would benefit from training your workers to identify their own Trans-generational and Trans-cultural biases, which contributes to their overall emotional wellness, by assisting in the development of empathetic regard for others and by increasing awareness of triggers and identifiers of intolerance, which would ensure an increase in customer service based on unconditional regard for them. This course's objective is to increase prevention; thus, your chances of having a better working environment increases your bottom line. It would also offer a means of filling in training gaps that may exist.

What are the costs of training

The cost of the course depends on the vehicle of service. Our online course is $300, and individuals may begin the course when payment is received. Students pay $250 for the online course, and the cost of In-service training varies.

Organizations must have a minimum of 10 participants in the course in order to host the in-service training for specialists. The standard cost per participant is $250. The cost may be adjusted if an organization has 20 or more participants.

Where are the in-service trainings held?

In-service training is hosted by the organization for which the service is rendered. When given two weeks' notice, the customer can request that it be held at a different location.
