Foster Care Training

This training will focus on the importance of professional self-care for those who work in the child welfare system. Through didactic, collaborative, and interactive learning, participants will explore what self-care is and why it is an essential practice for those supporting children/youth who have been traumatized, grieving, or distressed. Participants will explore the various stages of a crisis, define compassion fatigue and the obstacles to practicing self-care, and identify the six domains of professional self-care.
