About FMF Program Training
The Families Moving Forward (FMF) Program partners with The Florida Center Training Institute to offer FMF Program Training. FMF Program Training is the two-step process used to train clinicians in use of the scientifically validated FMF Program intervention.
FMF Program Training begins with FMF Specialist Training. FMF Specialist Training is a six-day, comprehensive, and virtual training managed and conducted by The Florida Center Training Institute. FMF Specialist Training is followed by FMF Intervention Fidelity (IF) Training, which includes 12 (minimum) to 18 (maximum) hours of supportive, virtual, consultation as you move through your first FMF intervention with a client family, managed and conducted by Seattle Children’s. After successfully completing all requirements, clinicians can independently deliver the FMF Program as an FMF Specialist.
