CRAFT Supervisor Certification

With the additional training of supervisors, agencies/programs can accomplish the important goal of sustainability.  Certified supervisors can train and certify others at their own agencies, but the certification would not be tracked by RJM & Associates. Only people certified by RJM & Associates will be posted on the website.

A clinician who is interested in becoming a certified CRAFT supervisor must first become a certified clinician (see certification requirements here).‍

• These clinicians (supervisor-trainees) will listen to and rate a series of recorded sessions provided by other clinicians from their own agency.  RJM is not responsible for finding recordings for the supervisor-trainees to code. RJM’s own expert coders will rate these same sessions. RJM coders will rate the sessions after the supervisor-trainee to look for fidelity, quality of feedback, and agreement of coding.
• The supervisor-trainee must match the expert coder’s ratings (at least 80% or higher) on at least 5 sessions. RJM reserves the right to request additional inter-rater reliabilities with the supervisor-trainee.
• Supervisor-trainees must record themselves providing at least 1 coaching session with another clinician. The coaching session must cover the supervisor-trainee providing feedback to the clinician on a recent recording, coaching of a CRAFT procedure (with role play), and ensure the “spirit” of CRAFT.
• Supervisor-trainees will be provided a rating manual (with the agreement of the RJM rater) about halfway through the supervisor certification. There is a $30 fee for the manual and is NOT to be shared with anyone without explicit permission from RJM & Associates. Utilization of the coding manual helps to ensure fidelity to the model.
• Supervisors will receive a certificate as a certified supervisor upon successful completion of the relevant certification process.‍
• Certified supervisors may be eligible to pursue certification as a Trainer in CRAFT (ask Dr. Meyers for details).
