Foster Care Training

It is important for those that support system-involved youth to be able to effectively engage them in efforts which help them transcend past experiences and build a life that is constructive, inspires joy, is fun, and promotes success in social settings, academics, and career related activities. Support providers of system-involved youth also should help them feel secure and engaged in a healthy way with their community. In this training, we will explore how to enhance our capacity to support system-involved youth (SIY) by exploring “Strengths-based Coaching Techniques” that will motivate and provide direction regarding how to foster alliance and promote young people’s emotional development and wellbeing as well as strengthen their resilience and ability to heal from traumatic events. Practicing and sharing the methods outlined by this workshop will allow us to improve the practice of how we empower system-involved youth.
