Foster Care Training

This introductory training is designed to foster a deep understanding of neurodiversity and equip participants who work with system-involved youth with practical strategies for promoting inclusivity and advocating for the rights of neurodiverse individuals. The training will cover the diverse spectrum of neurodiverse conditions, their impact on various environments, and the importance of creating accommodating spaces that celebrate differences. Through interactive sessions, case studies, and practical exercises, participants will gain valuable insights and tools to create an inclusive and supportive environment for neurodiverse individuals in their communities, workplaces, and educational institutions. The material will be delivered by PowerPoint presentation, short video clips, group discussion, breakout (small group) discussions, and participant workbook (handout). Attending this training will help participants identify and apply inclusive strategies tailored to the unique needs of system-involved youth (SIY), ensuring a supportive and understanding approach to their diverse experiences and challenges.
