Community Partners can now register for the Assertive Engagement Blended Learning Series!
Video Module/Blended Learning Series
Due to demand for a more flexible alternative to our 4-day Virtual Assertive Engagement training, we have developed a Blended Learning Series featuring six self-paced video modules containing videos, reflection activities, and short quizzes. Once all six videos have been successfully completed, the trainee can enroll in a live Skills Practice and Demonstration Session where they can practice skills with other community providers. These sessions are offered 4 times a month and are 4 hours in length, and active participation is required. Upon successful completion of the Skills Practice and Demonstration Session, the trainee will receive their AE certification!

Who are Assertive Engagement trainings for?
The Assertive Engagement Initiative is open to anyone in the community. However, because of the high demand for the AE 101 training, we are currently focused on agencies funded through the Department of County Human Service's Youth and Family Services Division, including:
- Anti-poverty and housing initiatives, such as the Multnomah Stability Initiative (MSI), SUN Service System (including SUN Community Schools, SUN Youth Advocacy, and SUN Parent Child Development Services), the Domestic and Sexual Violence Coordination Office, and the Preschool & Early Learning Division.
We also prioritize training for agencies contracted with the Joint Office of Homeless Services, including
- Homeless Youth Continuum, Homeless Family System of Care, and the Domestic Violence Programs, and the Adult System.
Contact us if your organization or agency is outside of this scope and we can talk about out how to work together.
How much does it cost to attend training?
AE trainings through Multnomah County are currently provided free of charge to community partners.
Occasionally, we present at conferences or as guests in training series, and our partners may charge a fee to offset their own costs.
What types of trainings are offered?
AE trainings are highly interactive and strive to build connections among participants as well as offering tools to use in the workplace. Currently we are only offering the Blended Learning Training and COOP sessions through 2024. Subscribe to the AE Newsletter for updates on when other trainings will be offered.
