This ongoing reflective, facilitated discussion group is open to CFC 15 service coordinators and providers who have attended a FAN – Facilitating Attuned Interactions - “Engage and Attune to Families” training. This group is meant to be a place of support and reflection for those who are using or want to begin using the FAN approach in their work. Meetings will consist of facilitated discussion and sharing of field experiences and case vignettes. This year we will take a deeper dive into reflective practice and the FAN tenets of Feeling/Empathic Inquiry and Thinking/Collaborative Exploration.
