PURPOSE: The Conversation Guide for Professionals on Substance Use, Children, and Families (Conversation Guide) is a tool that provides ideas and resources to help family services professionals use strengths-based conversations when working with families. The National Center for Health, Behavioral Health, and Safety (NCHBHS), which is under a cooperative agreement with the Office of Head Start, provides training and technical assistance to program staff on the implementation of this tool, preparing staff to conduct strengths-based conversations with families. The training helps professionals focus and address substance use, safe storage of substances, safe and engaged caregiving, and protective factors that promote child and family well-being. The proposed information collection will be administered to participants of the NCHBHS Conversation Guide Training. This user feedback survey will provide timely feedback from current participants in an efficient manner to improve future trainings.
