Our team works closely with organizations to provide the training, tools, and support necessary to successfully use The Seven Challenges with their clients. Our implementation strategies help organizations attain program sustainability and monitor their fidelity.
We provide an on-site or remote 3-day Initial Training for your counselors who will be using the program and their clinical supervisors, which prepares them to immediately begin providing The Seven Challenges. We encourage your organization to also include other employees, such as line-staff workers, assistant group facilitators, or caseworkers who will be working with clients.
Your organization selects your Seven Challenges leaders, who help maintain program fidelity, participate in quarterly Support Calls with a Seven Challenges trainer, and train new counselors when there is turnover. Leaders attend an additional 3-day Leader Training, which teaches advanced counseling skills, how to supervise counselors delivering the program, and how to facilitate the Initial Training for staff and counselors when there is turnover.
Leaders join a Seven Challenges trainer on quarterly support calls, where they discuss clinical and implementation questions. The first Support Call happens about one month after Initial Training, so you get implementation assistance right away.
Annually, a Seven Challenges trainer hosts a Support/Fidelity Visit (on-site or online), where your counselors and leaders receive more help with their clinical, implementation, training, and supervision questions. The leaders and Seven Challenges trainer also work together to develop plans for strengthening the program within your organization. The first Support/Fidelity Visit happens about 10 months after Initial Training.
