Foster Care Training

This course will focus on self-awareness, one of the five social-emotional competency domains. We will examine how our emotional vocabulary helps build our capacity to understand ourselves, appreciate the impermanence of feelings, and enhance self-care skills. It will also discuss and explore the concept of self-soothing and how creativity can calm the mind and body, thus promoting self-regulation skills. Participants will learn how using creative arts-based tools enhances the benefits of self-care, such as managing our feelings, developing self-compassion, and gaining greater insight and connection with ourselves. *This training draws upon the work of CASEL (n.d.)
