What you'll learn:

Participants in the EDP e-learning course will learn about the Everyday Parenting intervention model. EDP is a research-based, tailored family management support program. It targets three primary parenting domains: supporting positive behavior, setting healthy limits & building family relationships.


Learning Objectives:

After completing the Everyday Parenting e-learning course, the learner will be able to describe the three parenting skills in the Everyday Parenting Program; identify seven practices for working effectively with parents to build their parenting skills; and be able to list the four steps of the Everyday Parenting teaching model.


What you'll do:

Learners in the EDP e-learning course will learn how to use the Everyday Parenting Program as a tool to support parents' development of effective family management practices. The Everyday Parenting e-learning course has five modules that introduce the learner to the Everyday Parenting program, which supports the development of parenting skills that are critical for effective family management and positive child development. This e-learning course will take you about 5 hours to complete. This course will be accessible to you for one year from the date of your registration. This e-learning course is only an introductory training to the EDP model. To learn more about training and implementation support resources, please contact us here.


Who this course is designed for:

Providers working with parents or caregivers of children and adolescents between the ages of 2 through 17 in clinics, schools and other community-based settings can use the Everyday Parenting Program as a tool to support parents’ or caregivers’ development of effective family management practices. Examples of providers include administrators, mental health professionals, doctors, nurses, paraprofessionals in any field working with families and/or caregivers and their children ages 2 to 17, professionals working in the legal system, professionals working in the foster care system and others. Everyday Parenting can be used with families and other caregivers (such as foster parents, legal guardians, grandparents) and their children ages 2 to 17.


Course materials:

Links to handouts used in the e-learning course are provided in the e-learning course as the learner proceeds through the course and on the Resources page in the e-learning course. This course includes the Everyday Parenting workbook that will be provided as part of the training and e-learning course.


Course information:

Depending on which training option is chosen, the learner will be participating in either an in-person training or live webinar trainings after the EDP e-learning course is completed. The EDP e-learning course must be completed no later than the evening before either the in-person training or the first live webinar training. Location and time of the in-person training will be based on the availability of in-person training dates scheduled by the REACH team and the availability of the learner. The live webinar trainings will take place through the computer and the date and time of the live webinars will be based on the availability of the live webinar training dates scheduled by the REACH team and the availability of the learner. You will get access to this e-learning course approximately 3 weeks before your in-person or first live webinar training. This gives you approximately 3 weeks to complete the course.
