Foster Care Training

Trauma can impact development, biology, relationships, and much more. For youth who are in foster care, often they have experienced the trauma of separation in addition to traumas that led to the separation from biological family. In this training, the impact of traumatic stress on the brain of foster youth is discussed. Participants receive a foundational understanding of the parts and processes of brain development that are impacted directly after trauma as well as the long-term impacts of complex trauma on foster youth.
