Adaptation of the Mentoring FAN Cross-Culturally
Youth mentoring programs are active across the globe. Yet, most of the formal research on mentoring has been conducted in Western countries. This article focuses on the impact of a mentoring staff training within a large, multi-site youth mentoring program in India. The focus is on how the cross-cultural application of the Mentoring FAN, a model of attunement, influences staff skills and experience of relationship within the program. Additionally…
The mentoring FAN
Although youth mentoring as a field has enjoyed significant growth over the last 20 years, a good percentage of mentor relationships end prematurely. Empirically informed models of training to support the mentoring relationship are limited. The purpose of this article is to introduce the concept of attunement in youth mentoring; describe the FAN framework for relationship-building and reflective practice in youth mentoring and apply the model to …
Locating Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health at the Heart of Social Work
Infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH)-an interdisciplinary field dedicated to advancing understanding of early relationships, socioemotional development, and cultural and contextual influences on caregiving-offers essential tools for social workers to support the well-being of infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and their families. Even though social worker Selma Fraiberg was a founder of the field, and social workers are central to the w…
Evaluating the Facilitating Attuned Interactions (FAN) approach
Increasing parenting self‐efficacy
High levels of infant crying place families at risk for disrupted relationships, parenting stress, and even for child maltreatment. We conducted an evaluation of the Fussy Baby Network ® (FBN), a program supporting families struggling with infant crying and related concerns. The study contrasted 29 families who sought help from FBN with 27 families with excessively crying infants who did not seek services. Researchers measured parenting self‐effi…
The Mentoring FAN
Youth mentoring is a popular tool in positive youth development, with most programs utilizing a model through which youth and non-parental adults are “matched.” Using an adaptation of the Facilitating Attuned Interactions framework, this study sought to explore the effectiveness of the Mentoring FAN in enhancing interpersonal attunement among mentoring staff at two youth mentoring programs in the U.S. Upon completion of the Mentoring FAN training…
Local adaptation during implementation
Scholars and practitioners recognize that adaptation is necessary, and can enhance program outcomes, when scaling early interventions. This study used a framework for implementation that identified critical elements for understanding the adaptation process including: a) who made the adaptations, such as model developers and staff members, b) what elements were adapted, c) how adaptations occurred, such as adding or removing elements, d) when adap…
Irving B. Harris Distinguished Lecture
Programs that are moving toward relationship‐based practice are finding it essential to integrate some form of reflective process into their program practices in order to achieve their goals. Reflective supervision is proposed as a method to support change toward relationship‐based practice with infants and their families. The elements and structure of reflective supervision are described and several examples are given showing the implementation …
Integrating an understanding of brain development into early childhood education
This article describes the efforts to date of a five-year project undertaken by the Erikson Institute Faculty Development Project on the Brain to help ensure that early childhood education faculty and practitioners have access to information on the brain and early development. Specifically, the article presents survey and focus group findings regarding the interests and learning needs of early childhood faculty and practitioners, the content and …
Family administered neonatal activities
This article presents the theoretical basis, clinical model, and case illustrations of the Family Administered Neonatal Activities (FANA), a specialized application of the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (Brazelton, 1973), in which parents are guided in eliciting behaviors from their infant within the context of a specific clinical protocol that integrates the practices of short-term, psychotherapeutic interviewing with principles of an empo…
