How do I become an iiP Facilitator?
Get started with a 3-day training
iiP offers a high quality 3-day training that prepares facilitators to deliver the iiP programme with parents. The training is appropriate for anyone working in mental health, social services, education, family support and other caring professions.
iiP Facilitators can then go on to become Supervisors and Trainers in the programme.
Facilitators can also be trained in iiP add-on modules e.g. ADHD, autism in order to meet the specific needs of families with neurodiverse children.
Become part of the iiP Community of Practice
invest in play® is building a Community of Practice for iiP Facilitators, Supervisors and Trainers, both locally and internationally. A community where we can share experiences, expertise and passion with each other both online and in real life at conferences etc. We will advertise the iiP Community of Practice events and conferences on our website and on our social media, so follow us on LinkedIn, FaceBook and Instagram to stay tuned.
iiP is also part of an international network of experts in the field who share the goal of implementing and scaling evidence-based interventions to children: The International Forum for the Implementation of Evidence Based Practice. In this forum, research and successful implementation models are shared and developed with international partners.
Training pathway
Level 1: The training pathway starts from the bottom with the red brick, programme materials. The quality in programme delivery and implementation increases for every brick you add.
Level 2: The 3-day training includes a license which gives access to all the online materials needed to deliver the iiP Core Parent Programme. After the initial training, facilitators are ready to begin delivering the programme to parents.
Level 3: iiP then offers further training to enhance facilitators' skills. Participating in 2 skills-based masterclasses makes you an iiP Accredited Facilitator.
Level 4: You can expand your skills further by participating in 3 video-based, themed supervisions, which makes you a Fidelity Facilitator. Implementation research shows that to maintain positive outcomes for families, facilitators should receive on-going supervision. Therefore Level 4 is our recommended package for sustainable implementation.
Level 5 and 6: The two top bricks are designed to build long term sustainability and enhance cost-effectiveness for the organisation. Once accredited as Fidelity Facilitators you can develop local iiP Supervisors (Level 5) and Trainers (Level 6) in your own organisation.
