Foster Care Training

Many of the children and families who access Seneca Family of Agencies services are Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color who are disproportionately impacted by systemic and institutionalized oppression, racism, and discrimination. Seneca recognizes that the emotional impact of working with these youth have a significant impact on BIPOC team members as they navigate racial trauma, and systemic biases within the foster care system. Based on input from those team members, a supportive gathering to acknowledge and address these dynamics is a demonstration of the Seneca DEI commitment to value the diverse ethnic, cultural identify and experience of their employees and the communities they serve.
