Abstract:

The Jewish Family Educator Training Institute, a two-year multi-faceted training program, has increased the ability of its graduates to effect change in their clients, their institutions, and themselves. The graduates' growth in skills, confidence, understanding and sensitivity to family dynamics, and Jewish knowledge was translated into more effective practice as Jewish family educators.
