OMHSAS Shares Youth and Family Training Opportunity
The Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS) has shared an upcoming learning opportunity from the Youth and Family Training Institute (YFTI) for professionals across child and family serving systems.
On Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 12:00 pm, YFTI will present Managing Team Dynamics: Fluid Facilitation in Family Driven Teaming. This webinar introduces the concept of fluid facilitation, the practice of adapting facilitation strategies in real time rather than rigidly following a plan. Participants will explore how responsive facilitation supports respectful dialogue, helps navigate conflict, and guides teams toward shared understanding, integrated solutions, and shared ownership, even when meetings become challenging.
Participants will learn how to:
- Notice and interpret changes in participation, emotion, and momentum during team meetings;
- Adapt facilitation approaches to support inclusive, respectful discussion;
- Respond to conflict and imbalance while keeping meetings constructive and on track; and
- Promote shared ownership and follow-through within team processes.
This session is designed for facilitators, coordinators, clinicians, family navigators, and system partners engaged in Family Driven Teaming.
Registration information is available here. Please contact RCPA Children’s Policy Specialist Emma Sharp with any questions.
