The Partnerships Project Training Modules are a community based training delivery model for practitioners and parents in communities who serve children birth to six with special needs and their families. One of the goals is to create natural partnerships between the service providers who support children and families. The training is for early childhood service providers with a target audience of early childhood educators, child care and family day home providers, lay home visitors, IDP/AIDP, SCD/ASCD consultants, social workers, public health nurses, parents, SEA, teachers, family support workers, and key workers.

The Training Modules provide participants with knowledge and skills in various topics to increase their ability to support the children and families in their community settings. These Modules offer a viable and proactive form of training that utilizes the strengths and skills of practitioners and the services within the communities in B.C.

Experienced practitioners and parents in communities are trained to be Facilitators to deliver the training within their own region, thus localizing training supports. Find out more about Training Information, how to access it, and steps to become a Facilitator on the Training page.

A Discussion Board is an optional tool that connects interested participants and Facilitators as a follow-up to training. The General Discussion board enables people to exchange ideas, ask questions, obtain follow up support or provide feedback about training. Access to the boards requires a password that is provided by the Coordinator. Each Training Module has its own Discussion board. A Facilitator Discussion board is also available to trained Facilitators.
