    Locate a Group

    Finding professionals who can be part of your “group” is important.  A group is defined as a minimum of 2 professionals. Such a “group” is very useful in your training experience.  If you are a researcher, it is necessary so that you can obtain inter-rater reliability on your own sample after our training, and if you are a practitioner, it is helpful in getting a “second opinion” as you work to understand a child custody or child welfare case or in therapy work.  In some cases, professionals locate those from other institutions, but they can be part of the same group if they are working on similar collaborative research projects.  Similarly, you can find a group by connecting with other professionals who do similar types of work so that you can continue supporting each other after training and get second opinions. One person from the group should upload all materials together.
