Facilitating Attunded Interactions (FAN)

This is an introduction to Facilitating Attuned Interactions (FAN). FAN is a practical tool developed for professionals working with families. It is an effective approach to facilitating change by first meeting people where they are. It also protects against burnout by helping you attune to the caregivers and supervisees you work with, stay grounded, and deepen your reflective practice.

FAN:
– Helps you decide in the moment how to respond, based on reading another’s cues.
– Helps you stay aware of and regulate your own reactions.
– Supports your capacity to reflect after an interaction and think about what would be helpful in the future.

It’s not another curriculum or task to do; rather, it’s a way of being with caregivers that helps change happen.
