ERIC incorporates a competency based implementation model for youth services. This model has been developed to build capacity in all youth sectors, to improve treatment and service efficiency and to aid in implementation fidelity.
The model is based on best practice implementation methodology for AOD treatment settings and highlights that adherence and fidelity to ERIC will maximise positive outcomes for young people. The ERIC training and implementation model is made up of six components.
There are two options for ERIC training:
- Level 1 Intro to ERIC Workshop
- Level 2 Train the Trainer ERIC
Level 1 Intro to ERIC Workshop (1-day workshop)
The one-day ERIC training workshop is for practitioners who want to use ERIC in their clinical practice with young people. The workshop covers the different elements of the ERIC program, how to work with an emotion regulation framework or ERIC ‘World View’ and how to apply ERIC tools in practice. The workshop also covers the background into the theory and research underpinning ERIC.
Level 2 Train the Trainer ERIC (2-day workshop)
Train the Trainer (TtT) is a two-day workshop program for organisations and staff seeking to develop enough ERIC knowledge to be able to train other staff in ERIC. Day 1 is the ERIC Training Workshop and Day 2 covers principles of training and coaching in ERIC for facilitators. TtT works well for senior practitioners who hold a practice lead or training calendar and professional development role in organisations.
Please note: To be eligible to participate in the Level 2 Train the Trainer Workshop, you must first have completed the Level 1 Intro to ERIC Workshop.
