Teaching Risking Connection with an Anti-Racist Lens: A Supplement to the Teaching Manual for RC
The final version of this supplement is here. Developed by a diverse advisory board of RC Trainers, it is meant to provide you with options for integrating anti-racism into your teaching of the Risking Connection training. We’d love to hear from you about your experience with it, both via the form below and during September’s RC Webinar – A Deeper Dive: Building Skills to Teach Risking Connection with an Anti-Racist Lens.
Monthly Mindfulness Resumes
Thanks to all who participated in the 30-Day Mindfulness Challenge. Based on feedback received so far, we will continue with our Mindfulness initiative by returning to Monthly Mindfulness sessions starting March 2, 2022 from 12-12:30 ET. As before, the sessions will be free, open to all staff at all RC agencies, and will be drop-ins.
As with the 30-Day Mindfulness Challenge, you can register whether or not the time works for you; a recording of each session will be made available to registrants after each session.
RC Event Attendance Updates
RC Agency Contacts receive automated quarterly email updates and can – along with RC Trainers – also view the most recent update here. We track attendance by calendar year, January-December.
RC Trainers are required to attend two RC events per year. Events that count toward this requirement are: RC Train-the-Trainer, RC Recertification (due every 2 years), RC Webinars, and the RC Day of Learning and Sharing. Champions are welcome to attend RC Webinars, but are not required to do so.
Looking for RC Trainer Events?
RC Basic Training Eval Form
Below is copy of the Evaluation Form participants should complete at the conclusion of the RC Basic Training.
Virtual RC Basic Evaluation Form 2020
Notice: TSI previously requested that agencies send their evaluation forms to us for review. We are discontinuing this practice. While we believe the evaluation forms are useful tools for RC Trainers and encourage you to continue using them, we do not need to see your evaluations.
RC Trainer and Organizational Requirements
Requirements for Conducting the RC Basic Training
The organization/system must agree to conduct RC trainings in the following manner:
- RC trainings must be a minimum of 16 hours training time (not including breaks and lunch). They do not need to be 3 days consecutively.
- RC trainings must be led by at least one RC Associate Trainer with an advanced degree in mental health or human services.
- RC Associate Trainers must use the RC Outline distributed at the Train-the-Trainer as the basic structure for their trainings. Within the basic structure, adaptations are permitted.
- RC Trainings can have no more than 40 participants.
- RC training must use at least 2 RC Associate Trainers unless there are unusual extenuating circumstances.
RC Training Resources (materials, videos, training ideas, etc.)
NEW Feature – Certificate Templates
We’ve been asked for certificates that agencies could give to their RC Basic participants, but until recently we didn’t have a great sharing solution. Google Forms, however, has a great solution that makes sharing – and even automation – of your certificates possible.
Choose What Works Best for You
Every agency has its own unique environment, training process, and policies. We’ve given you choices so you can find the strategy that’s best for you.
Option 1 – Simple and Easy
Option 2 – Technological Wonder
For those who train many participants per session or who enjoy learning about technological enhancements, watch both videos here on the right. The second video details the use of an add-on called Autocrat, which can greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to make batches of certificates.
Option 3 – I Can’t Access Google Forms

Resources from Prior RC Webinars and Consult Groups
We share the below resources from prior RC Webinars as a resource to you. When using the information provided for your own training purposes, please make sure to acknowledge the source/presenter of the material – give credit where credit is due.
