Who are the staff that make up the Supporters and what kind of training do they receive? Supporters work closely with resident Learners. They are Eliza Jennings employees from all professional disciplines, including nursing, administration, dietary, housekeeping, activities and maintenance. Supporters attend three days of intensive training on all aspects of the therapy: the founding principles; education on the pre-frontal cortex and how it relates to the therapy; how to assign Learners to appropriate levels of learning; and coaching techniques, positive reinforcement, and the role of the rest of the community in supporting the therapy.
