She has recently shifted to providing direct clinical services primarily via telehealth in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In her role, Kate routinely delivers community-based and therapist training workshops rooted in evidence-based interventions such as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). As a PCIT International Level 2 Trainer candidate under the Trauma and Recovery Project (TARP), a Category III SAMHSA grant, she is continuing to co-facilitate some of the very first virtual trainings for new PCIT therapist and PCIT Level 1 trainer cohorts statewide throughout the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kate is passionate about leveraging technology to promote equitable access for families receiving prevention and treatment services.&nbsp; In June, she began pursuing her doctorate in social work at the University of Kentucky and is focusing her capstone on PCIT training and dissemination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/icfw\/people\/cerwin-capsw-lcsw-leah\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"280\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/icfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/384\/2016\/04\/0116a-Cerwin-Leah-11072018-5x7c.jpg\" alt=\"Picture of Leah Cerwin\" class=\"wp-image-2567\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/icfw\/people\/cerwin-capsw-lcsw-leah\/\">Leah Cerwin<\/a><\/strong>, LCSW, is a Well-Being Lead Clinician with Children&#8217;s Wisconsin and the Institute for Child and Family Well-Being. Leah is a Parent Child Interaction Therapy Certified Level 1 Trainer and has worked to provide a PCIT virtual training to clinicians across the state this summer. Along with providing services to families herself, Leah also conducts co-therapy over telehealth with PCIT trainees who she co-trained in the fall of 2019 and assisted in transitioning their cases to telehealth services. Leah provides consultation video calls for PCIT clinicians, and works closely with PCIT Level 2 and global trainers to help develop new PCIT training processes.&nbsp;Leah also co-trained a cohort of PCIT clinicians in a virtual Level 1 training this summer and provides consultation for these Level 1 trainer candidates as they begin training clinicians within their own agencies.&nbsp;Leah participated in a virtual PCIT Toddlers training this past spring. Leah also manages a Category 3 SAMHSA grant, in which she promotes the development of strategies to improve assessment processes for evidence-based treatments PCIT, TF-CBT, and CPP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While in graduate school, Leah interned with the Institute for Child and Family Well-Being directors and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee faculty, Drs. Dimitri Topitzes and Joshua Mersky, to develop Project Connect, a group-based pilot of PCIT.

The use of a strategic learning process supports an organizational culture committed to continuous quality improvement and collective growth and knowledge. Being a learning organization serves multiple purposes: creating institutional memory, supporting just-in-time iteration, and clarifying our hypotheses about our work. Engaging every staff member in these learning practices allows us to make our thinking visible to each other, strengthening our hypotheses and uncovering hidden assumptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Institute\u2019s Children\u2019s Wisconsin team developed a Strategic Learning process and set of tools in early 2019. While many of those tools serve a formal decision-making, planning or evaluation function, Learning Logs are our platform where we share insights and reflections on work that we\u2019re doing &#8211; from the clinic to meetings to thoughts that arise in the course of writing, reading, or meeting new people. Learning Logs serve a knowledge management function, and allow us to share and track how our thinking and work with others and within our systems evolve over time.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/icfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/384\/2020\/08\/Basecamp-280x300.jpg\" alt=\"Image of Learning Log discussion forum.\" class=\"wp-image-4027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/icfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/384\/2020\/08\/Basecamp-280x300.jpg 280w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/icfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/384\/2020\/08\/Basecamp.jpg 712w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Our Learning Log process is rather simple and can be replicated easily by other groups and organizations. We start with two questions that we are asked to answer each week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What did you learn this week?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How might it inform our work?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These questions land in our inboxes each week through an Automatic Check-in through Basecamp. We then proceed to Basecamp and post our answers with the following basic expectations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Header \u2013 Topic of Learning (i.e. Systems Change, Clinical Services, Social Innovation, etc.);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brief synopsis of what was learned and how it relates to\/informs our work;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Link to the source material(s) (i.e. Article, Podcast, Speaker, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the posts are submitted, they are shared with all team members for review and are archived on our Basecamp page as institutional memory. We can interact with one another\u2019s Learning Logs by adding comments, questions, recognition or engaging in further learning by exploring the source material links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we started this process last year, our small team of ten has completed more than 500 Learning Logs on topics ranging from integrating clinical services into the child welfare system to the importance of lived experience in social innovation to systems drivers and evaluation. The content of the Learning Logs has served as a consultative space for the team, a catalyst for deeper, more targeted conversations in supervision, and the development of a virtual learning resource center on Basecamp that our team can refer to for future use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Learning Logs are intended to be driven by each individual\u2019s learning and relevant areas of interest, we have developed Focused Learning Logs that have a specific topic that is currently relevant and urgent in our practice and culture. In 2019, we focused on our practice, use of tools and strategies around Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to develop a toolkit for fellow practitioners and families that receive TF-CBT. This year, we are focusing on Anti-Racist and Inclusion, Diversity and Equity issues and efforts that impact our clinical practices, systems, policies, and organizational culture. In addition to providing a sharper focus on our own education and reflection in these critical areas, it also serves as an opportunity to understand where everyone on the team is in their learning, which leads to increased empathy, support and constructive conversation on the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe that ongoing learning is happening daily throughout our organizations, but often occurs without sufficient reflection or documentation that lend themselves to growth \u2013 both personal and organizational \u2013 and future reference and use. Learning Logs have served as a powerful tool that help us capture and enhance our learning, growth, and potential for continuous improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Learn More:<br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/icfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/384\/2020\/04\/ICFW-Practice-Brief-\u2013-Strategic-Learning-1.pdf\">Practice Brief: ICFW Strategic Learning<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tamarackcommunity.ca\/latest\/power-inquiry-disruptive-times-liz-weaver\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Power of Inquiry in Disruptive Times \u2013 Tamarack Institute<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/icfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/384\/2020\/06\/ICFW-Practice-Brief-AAR-1.pdf\">Practice Brief: ICFW After Action Reviews<\/a><br><a name=\"program-design\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-program-design-and-implementation\"><strong>Program Design and Implementation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Institute develops, implements and disseminates validated prevention and intervention strategies that are accessible in real-world settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-virtual-clinician-training-and-covid-19\"><strong>Virtual Clinician Training and COVID-19<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By Kate Bennett &amp;

One area of focus for our mental and behavioral health practitioners has been the implementation of virtual training.&nbsp; In March, clinicians at Children\u2019s Wisconsin and the ICFW were recipients of <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/icfw\/icfw-newsletter-spring-2020\/#clinical\">Parent-Child Interaction Therapy \u2013Toddlers (PCIT-T) training facilitated by Dr. Emma Girard<\/a>.&nbsp;

Recovery Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As agencies continue the provision of telehealth services that allow clinicians to engage with families remotely, internet-PCIT (I-PCIT) delivery was included as a highlighted didactic skill.&nbsp; Recommendations for safe implementations of in-person PCIT services for agencies who cannot provide telehealth were also discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with adapting to telehealth strategies for PCIT Clinicians, PCIT trainers made space during virtual training for rich discussion of anti-oppressive strategies for delivering PCIT.&nbsp; This was done both by providing information and updates on how PCIT International as an organization is taking steps to create a more inclusive and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcit.org\/antiracism-parenting-resources.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Anti-Racist Space<\/a> for therapists, trainers, and families, and also by allowing the trainees themselves the opportunity to discuss the cultural sensitivity and tailoring necessary to make PCIT an approach better suited to meet the needs of their families of color.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"177\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/icfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/384\/2020\/08\/Equality-v-Equity-300x177.jpg\" alt=\"Image contrasting equality vs. equity\" class=\"wp-image-4028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/icfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/384\/2020\/08\/Equality-v-Equity-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/icfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/384\/2020\/08\/Equality-v-Equity.jpg 654w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>PCIT trainers discussed how PCIT as an organization utilizes <strong>The Equity Approach<\/strong>, to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to participate and prosper when building strategies to improve community health.&nbsp;
