Research Training


There are research opportunities related to the Family Learning Program. In order for the FLP to provide high quality services, there needs to be continual feedback as to how the program is doing.

Client satisfaction, individualized goal achievement ratings, treatment plan progress assessment and annual review of program goals is regularly carried out.

Frequent presentations and training about the FLP and sexual abuse are made to community agencies such as department of children and families, guardian ad litems, sexual assault victims assistance program, big brother & sister, correctional officers, medical and treatment facilities, and the women's center.
