STRENGTHENING
  FAMILIES

VIG enables parents to identify & learn from their own successes so that they are better able to:

  • Attune to and read their children’s cues and respond appropriately
     

  • Develop confidence in their parenting skills and strengthen their healthy bond with their children
     

  • Create more relaxed, enjoyable time with their children
     

  • Optimize their child’s brain development
     

  • Improve their own communication and strengthen their relationship

STRENGTHENING  PRACTICE IN SCHOOLS, SOCIAL SERVICES, & CLINICAL SETTINGS

VIG is a powerful tool that trained supervisors use to improve professional and paraprofessional practice in schools, social services, and clinical settings. Using VIG, supervisors help their staff develop new and better ways to: 

  • Engage positively with children, youth, and families: 

    • VIG allows supervisors to review recorded interactions between staff and students/clients, enabling them to identify existing strengths and develop effective strategies for improving student/client engagement. 

  • Support staff to use their own strengths as the foundation for ongoing professional development: 

    • Through video review and collaborative discussions, VIG enables supervisors to empower staff to recognize their own strengths & capabilities and to help them set and achieve goals for continued professional growth.

  • Equip staff to help students and clients leverage their strengths: 

    • VIG helps supervisors work with  staff to recognize the strengths and abilities of their students/clients. By learning how to use those identified strengths as building blocks for growth and change, staff are better equipped to maximize the developmental outcomes of their students and clients. 

  • Foster stronger organizations and teams: 

    • VIG promotes a collaborative approach by involving supervisors and staff in the reflective process. This encourages teamwork, shared learning, and a collective effort towards professional growth. As a result, organizations and teams become stronger, more cohesive, and better equipped to provide quality services to children and families.

  • Improve programs and services for better outcomes:

    •  Through VIG, program leaders/supervisors gain insights into the effectiveness of programs and services. Program leaders/supervisors can then work with staff to ensure that the services align with the needs of the clients, leading to improved outcomes for children and families.
