Placing Agency & Provider Agency Staff. Training Plan (Previously Question 10 of Voluntary Agreement): Please describe your plan for training the Placing Agency(ies) and each Provider Agency(ies) staff who will be implementing your program and also describe how ongoing (continued) training will be provided. Include the positions that will require training, the training topics essential to implement your RBS program, and the general skill development you are seeking to improve. San Bernardino County will establish a cooperative RBS training sequence that will be hosted by Xxxxxx Treatment Centers. Staff who are working in one or more components of the RBS System will complete an initial training containing the core elements of the sequence, which includes the following topics: RBS principles overview, description of the SB County RBS System (including the roles and responsibilities of the participating public and private agencies and of the staff working in those agencies), RBS practices overview (family search and engagement, intensive treatment interventions (to include Risking Connections/Trauma Informed Care and Xxxxxx Xxxxx), parallel community services, Pre- Residential services, follow-up aftercare services, utilization management, and funding), and introduction to the RBS plan of care development process.

These will vary in length and focus based on the staff person’s duties.

Placing Agency & Provider Agency Staff. Training Plan (Previously Question 10 of Voluntary Agreement): Please describe your plan for training the Placing Agency(ies) and each Provider Agency(ies) staff who will be implementing your program and also describe how ongoing (continued) training will be provided. Include the positions that will require training, the training topics essential to implement your RBS program, and the general skill development you are seeking to improve. The Open Doors provider consortium has agreed that it will utilize the Los Angeles Training Consortium‟s Wraparound training for the initial training until Open Doors specific foundational training can be developed as a base for any staff involved in the Open Doors program. Additionally more role specific and Open Doors specific training modules will be developed to address specific training needs. Staff will be required to attend an already established, monthly in-house in-service training on various topics related to working with the high-needs children and families. Currently Wraparound staff is encouraged to attend outside trainings when the topic is for the enhancement of their specific role and/or work with families. In general, there are three levels of information sharing regarding Open Doors: 1) Social Marketing (materials to be developed), 2) Basic Training and 3) Role-specific Training.
