Foster Care Training

Working with foster and juvenile justice involved youth can be challenging given the generational patterns of trauma, poverty, incarceration, etc. So, it’s essential for providers to under-stand generational trauma and how to work with foster and juvenile justice involved youth from a generational perspective. Without this perspective, we can have unrealistic expecta-tions for youth and their families and encounter barriers to engagement. Providers will learn strategies to support system involved youth with generational patterns of trauma within their families.
