Foster Care Training

This training will discuss vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue and moral distress that can arise when supporting system involved transition age youth. When individuals don’t intentionally care for themselves and have awareness of the impacts of vicarious trauma, this can unintentionally negatively impact outcomes for system involved transition age youth. The trainer will discuss strategies participants can utilize to prevent or manage vicarious trauma and become more resilient and compassionate. It’s essential for those who support system involved youth to prioritize well-being so we can model this for transition age youth and families and support improved outcomes.
