*Application deadline extended to 7/22/2022!*

OCFS is pleased to provide the opportunity for eligible behavioral health providers in Maine to receive training in RUBI, beginning in September 2022. This opportunity is available to providers of *Behavioral Health Respite Care,?Behavioral Health Home (BHH), Targeted Case Management (TCM), Special Purpose Private Schools (SPPS), CDS Providers*, Rehabilitative and Community Services (RCS), Crisis Residential, Children?s Residential Care Facility (CRCF) Services, Therapeutic Foster Care, Children?s Inpatient Psychiatric Hospitals, and family organizations who serve youth (up to age twenty (20)) in Maine, as well as Home and Community Treatment (HCT) and Outpatient (OP) Therapy providers. ?Preference will be given to individuals who work directly with families of children with Intellectual Disability and Autism diagnoses. The training will be offered statewide and at *no cost* to participants. The participant?s agency (employer) will be eligible for reimbursement for each participant?s time in training and each participant will receive all training materials as well as one year of materials for families.

To participate and receive reimbursement for the training, participants will be expected to complete Level 1 training. Up to *two individuals* from every agency represented will have the opportunity to proceed to Level 2 training after completion of Level 1 training.

*?The following addresses application requirements and training expectations. *

Applications must be completed in full. Incomplete applications will not be accepted. Applications will be accepted through *July 22, 2022* and applicants will be notified via email if they are offered a training spot. A link to the application is available at the bottom of this correspondence.

*"Applications must be received by 5:00 pm on July 22, 2022"*

*Requirements*


* Participants must be willing and able to actively participate in sixteen (16) hours of RUBI training (Level 1);
* Those proceeding to Level 2 (train the trainer) will actively participate in an additional twenty (20) hours of weekly small group virtual consultation sessions with a certified RUBI trainer;
* Must have experience working with youth and families.
* May provide services in outpatient, home- and community-based treatment, school-based, residential and/or inpatient settings.
* Because RUBI is a parent training model, participants must be able and willing to actively involve parents and caregivers in sessions. For example, practitioners working in schools or other settings who are not able to meet with or work directly with parents/caregivers would not be able to utilize RUBI with fidelity to the model.
* Provider Agencies who employ individuals attending the training must complete and submit to Seattle Children?s the Agency contact information, W-9 and EIN for reimbursement of time spent in training. The expectation is that the agency will provide the requested information within a week of the request.

* Upon successful completion of Level 1 training, individuals may proceed to Level 2 training (train the trainer), with approval from the RUBI trainers.
