Foster Care Training

With a growing awareness of trauma and its impact on an individual, we are learning that we need to not only consider what has happened in the individual’s lifetime but need to also consider what happened in the lives of previous generations in their families. Working with foster youth can be challenging given the generational patterns of trauma, poverty, incarceration, etc. So, it’s essential for providers to understand generational trauma and how to work with foster youth from a generational perspective. Without this perspective, we can have unrealistic expectations for youth and their families and encounter barriers to engagement. This training will highlight examples of generational trauma amongst Native families, African American families and Latino families. THIS IS A 2-DAY TRAINING
