SUMMARY:AIFS - Customer journey mapping and what it can tell us about our service systems
DESCRIPTION:Evaluation can provide insights into how clients experience and use services\, but it’s not the only way to access knowledge that can transform service systems. Customer journey mapping is one alternative method that is focused on collecting information about customers/clients to build a detailed picture of client needs\, interactions and experiences from service entry to exit. This approach\, which prioritises qualitative data\, can produce powerful insights into where service improvements are needed and how to produce better experiences for staff\, management and clients. \nKat Goldsworthy from the Evidence and Evaluation Support team at AIFS will sit down with strategic designer Monique Rappell to discuss customer journey mapping\, a technique that evaluators and program managers can use to get a holistic understanding of their clients’ experience and enhance their service design. \nThis webinar will give a brief introduction to the approach and explore when and where to use it\, the steps involved in the process and what you can do with the findings. \nThis webinar will give you: \n\nan understanding of what customer journey mapping is and what it involves\nan understanding of what insights and knowledge you can gain from customer journey mapping\ninsight into the role of customer journey mapping in understanding and enhancing complex service systems.\n\n  \nThis webinar will interest program managers and evaluators working in child and family services. \nPlease note: This pre-recorded interview runs for 30-minutes. There will be no live facilitation or audience questions. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:AIFS and Emerging Minds - How a 'village' approach can support infant and toddler mental health
DESCRIPTION:Presenters: Lyndsay Healy\, Viv Kissane\, Amy Parker and Vicki Mansfield\nPartner: Emerging Minds\nDate & time: Wednesday 3 April 2024\, 1:00 – 2:00PM (AEDT). Find your time zone \nREGISTER HERE \n\n\n\nSupporting infant and child mental health can be both extremely rewarding and challenging for practitioners working with families. \nMany different factors influence infant and toddler mental health\, including their relationships\, their community and the broader social context in which they live. While having limited social supports can contribute to poor mental health in children and their parents or carers\, having a rich social support system\, or a ‘village’\, can promote mental health and wellbeing. \nThis ‘village’ can include family members\, friends and other trusted community members such as educators\, community leaders and healthcare providers. Practitioners can offer families more effective support by understanding their ‘village’ and what might be stopping families from reaching out for emotional or practical support. \nThis webinar will discuss how to work collaboratively with families to engage with their ‘village’ and how this approach can influence infant and toddler mental health. Panellists will explore practice strategies that promote infant and toddler mental health and explore how asking questions about the family’s ‘village’ can help you better understand a family’s needs and strengths. \nThis webinar will help you: \n\nunderstand the influence of infant and toddlers’ ‘village’ on their mental health\nconsider what factors might help or hinder a family’s connection to their infant and toddlers’ ‘village’\nsupport parents to make sense of their infant and toddlers’ behaviours and what might be happening in their child’s inner world\nconsider how collaboration can support the parent-child relationship\, day-to-day caregiving and resilience after adversity.\n\nThis webinar will interest practitioners who work with infants\, toddlers and their families\, such as allied health workers\, child and family health nurses\, perinatal and infant mental health providers\, mental health services\, child and family services and parenting support\, lived experience workforce\, GP’s\, and paediatricians. \nWhile you will begiven a chance to ask questions during the webinar\, we encourage you to send through questions in advance in the registration form. \nThis webinar is co-produced by CFCA and Emerging Minds in a series focusing on children’s mental health. They are working together as part of the Emerging Minds: National Workforce Centre for Child Mental Health\, which is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care under the National Support for Child and Youth Mental Health Program.\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Australian Childhood Foundation - Supporting Children and Young People to Heal from the Trauma of Family Violence
DESCRIPTION:Supporting Children and Young People to Heal from the Trauma of Family Violence\n20 March 2024  10:00 am – 02:00 pm Virtual Classroom $165.00 \nWhat is this training about?\nChildren and young people do not escape family violence unaffected.  It destabilises the foundations of their development and undermines the strengths of their relationships which can overwhelm them. Children experience family violence deep in their mind and body – they see it\, often hear it and their bodies react to it as a threat to their survival.\nThis workshop explores all of these elements and supports practitioners to work in a child focused and relationally reparative context with parents and children following experiences of family violence. \nRegister

SUMMARY:AIFS - How developmental evaluation can be used to develop and adapt social services programs
DESCRIPTION:Presenters: Sandra Opoku (Relationships Australia Victoria) and Jessica Smart (AIFS)\nDate & time: Wednesday 13 March 2024\, 1:00 – 1:30PM (AEDT). Find your time zone \nRegister here \nEvaluation is quickly becoming a necessary part of service delivery and decision making in child and family services. Traditional forms of evaluation can take a long time to produce the results needed to enhance service delivery. In contrast\, developmental evaluation involves learning as you go\, meaning evaluators can test new approaches\, track program implementation and design initiatives that are responsive to context and need. This makes developmental evaluation useful for providers working in dynamic environments that require responsive interventions. \nThis webinar will explore how Relationships Australia Victoria used developmental evaluation to adapt their Men’s Behaviour Change Program (MBCP) to online delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. \nRelationships Australia Victoria’s Lead Evaluator\, Sandra Opoku\, will discuss how and why she used developmental evaluation with the MBCP\, the results of the evaluation and what she learned along the way.\nThis webinar will give you: \n\nan understanding of how to design and implement a developmental evaluation\ninsight into what evidence a developmental evaluation can generate\nan understanding of what developmental evaluation can and can’t be used for.\n\nThis webinar will be of interest to practitioners\, managers and evaluators working in child and family services.\nPlease note: This pre-recorded interview runs for 30-minutes. There will be no live facilitation or audience questions.
