Technical Assistance Toolkit
We’ve developed a new Technical Assistance Toolkit based
on a review of the literature and feedback from focus
groups. It offers guidelines for the application of best prac-
tices in providing tailored technical assistance, including
example protocols and logging templates. It will be avail-
able for purchase soon.
Online Technical Assistance
Training
An interactive online training is now available to support
those in the field charged with providing technical assis-
tance. It’s aligned with our new science-based framework
for professional development.
Interactive Training on LARC
We are offering a new interactive training on long-acting
reversible contraception (LARC) that is aligned with our
science-based framework. Experts say that LARCs have
the potential to dramatically decrease the unintended
pregnancy rate, yet misconceptions about their use per-
sist. This training provides participants with the most cur-
rent clinical information on LARC methods, research on
misconceptions, guidelines related to adolescent use, and
tools for implementing LARC-related health promotion
strategies in youth education.
EBI Trainings of Educators
We’ve completed redesign and update of four of our
EBI Training of Educators (for
Reducing the Risk, Being
a Responsible Teen, Draw the Line
and
All 4 You
). Next,
we’ll be updating the training for
Safer Choices
. Our sci-
ence-based framework makes these programs even more
effective.
EBI Trainings of Trainers
We’ve transformed our approach to providing Training
of Trainers (TOT), based on learning and implementa-
tion science, and on best practices in skill development.
We’ll be offering regional, comprehensive TOTs that build
the skills of trainers/facilitators by strengthening their
approach in working with adult learners. Taking action to
achieve effective implementation is the goal.
