HALO is working diligently to expand training into the community.

Unique Training Opportunities:

FASD Training

Fetal-Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD’s): According to the CDC, up to 1 in 20 U.S. school children may have FASDs.  Yet, clinicians and families are unfamiliar with the impacts an FASD can have on a child, family and systems.  There are huge gaps in services all across the U.S. in which states do not have any therapeutic programming specifically for children and families who are impacted.  There is a nation-wide movement led by a variety of caring individuals interested in educating the public and working towards creative interventions to meet the need.

FASCETS Training

This workshop provides information about Fetal Alcohol/Neurobehavioral Conditions(FA/NB) and the effects of alcohol and other drugs on the brains and behaviors of children, adolescents and adults.

FA/NB are brain-based, neurobehavioral conditions with behavioral symptoms. The workshop will educate you on a best practices approach for increasing understanding of FA/NB, reducing frustration, and expanding options. Case examples of successful accommodations are central to this training.  The Neurobehavioral Model works for all individuals with brain-based differences, such as, FASD, Autism, Traumatic Brain injury, dementia, and so many more.

TBRI® Training for Professionals

In partnership with the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development (KPICD,) HALO Project offers a two-day TBRI® training for professionals several times throughout the year. This is possible through the Oklahoma TBRI® Collaborative for Children (OTCC.) The goal in providing this training is to empower all organizations serving Oklahoma’s abused and neglected children with the knowledge they need meet the needs of those they serve.

TBRI® Training for Foster and Adoptive Caregivers

We are thrilled to now be able to offer a TBRI® Two-Day Training for foster and adoptive families! If you would like to develop a deeper understanding of the children you care for as well as a deeper understanding of yourself, this training is for you.

If you are a professional, please sign up for the TBRI® Training for Professionals.

HALO Program Curriculum Training

For years HALO has been asked by TBRI® Practitioners to share our curriculum. Although we were willing, running a HALO program comes with needing resources and manpower that many who wanted the curriculum didn’t have access too. Now, the HALO Board of Directors made the bold decision to go ahead and train TBRI® Practitioners/Clinicians in the curriculum with the understanding they may not be able to administer the full program. Now, TBRI® Practitioners/Clinicians can be taught the curriculum and use it for individual sessions, for running parent classes or for running a Kids Club or Camp. We are blessed to be able to offer training in this amazing program to others all over the world.

Collaborative Impact Project

Oklahoma has the highest level of ACEs out of any other state in the US.  Thus, Oklahoma children are being exposed to more painful events than anywhere else in the country.

At HALO we have been addressing this issue by making sure to bring the best possible mental health interventions used nationally to our great state of Oklahoma.  As a result, we have seen a significant improvement in the quality of services HALO and our partner agencies provide.

Our hope of making an impact lies in the formation of the Collaborative Impact Project.  The Collaborative Impact Project will create a high-quality, highly trained team of mental health professionals designed to address the mental health needs of Oklahoma’s vulnerable populations. 

The Collaborative Impact Project will provide training to Oklahoma mental health professionals from a variety of organizations in Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®), Making Sense of Your Past Worth, and Internal Family Systems Therapy.
