Foster Care Training

“This training walks participants through the Mindful Meeting Practice, which is used to address medium intensity incidents. Mindful Meetings build upon the Restorative Conversations skills, teaching participants how to guide those who are in conflict toward a solution that meets their needs. This training will teach participants about the steps of the practice, what the roles of the participants are, and how to prepare solution strategies for the solution round of the circle. Participants will learn the connection between social emotional skill development and the parts of the Mindful Meeting practice. This training will also teach participants how to create values and agreements to ensure that participants respect one another during the meeting. For work with foster families, this training provides a framework for facilitating difficult discussions. “
