Training Overview Description

The UAA Center for Human Development trains staff members working in community agencies across Alaska to implement the Friendships & Dating Program (FDP) with this two-day facilitator training.

The FDP teaches young adults (ages 15 and older) and adults with intellectual and related developmental disabilities (I/DD) how to make and keep healthy relationships and prevent violence in their relationships. FDP is a 10-week long program made up of 20 sessions. Sessions are held twice a week and last approximately 1.5 hours each. The first session of each week focuses on participants learning new skills. The second session centers on applying these new skills in a community setting.

Event-specific Details

Interested facilitators who participate in the FDP training will:

  • Identify at least two facilitators per agency to participate in training
  • Attend by distance technology a 2-day, 8 hour training to learn how to deliver the program content
  • Be expected to recruit participants for the program
  • Be expected to deliver the FDP within one year of being trained
  • Assist with data collection requirements.

Interested facilitators who attend training will receive:

  • FDP Manual and Training guide
