Foster Care Training

This training aims to provide those who support youth involved in the child welfare system with an understanding of racial bias within child welfare, and to equip them with the tools and strategies necessary to eliminate biases to support improved outcomes for foster youth. Participants will learn about the impact of racial bias on children and families, as well as best practices for promoting cultural competence and addressing personal biases. The training will also cover strategies for addressing racial bias in child welfare reporting. The material will be delivered by PowerPoint presentation, short video clips, group discussion, breakout (small group) discussions and participant workbook (handout).
