PEACE for ImPACT Study

The PEACE online resource includes self-paced training modules that cover the foundations of caregiver coaching, caregiver perspectives towards coaching, strategies for aligning with caregivers and gaining buy-in for coaching, evidence-based strategies to empower caregivers from marginalized backgrounds, and strategies to improve collaboration and cohesion among providers working with the same child. Each module includes brief example videos, easy-to read infographics, tip sheets, and checklists to guide implementation. A virtual communication application, Slack, facilitates frequent communication, enhances social networks among providers, and creates social norms related to the use of caregiver coaching. Providers can post questions or suggestions, share resources, and receive updates about other providers' accomplishments. Consultants frequently post encouraging messages and progress updates to increase motivation and shared norms for coaching.

Facilitation comprises interactive problem solving and support, a shared understanding of need for improvement, and a supportive interpersonal relationship. Providers participate in 12 weekly group facilitation meetings for one hour virtually with an expert consultant focused on auditing providers' fidelity to caregiver coaching through role-play and performance feedback. Each group meeting aligns with content from the PEACE online resource library modules.

Individual facilitation is delivered virtually for one hour each week for eight weeks with a consultant focused on reflection and problem solving any identified implementation barriers, as well as practice and performance feedback.
