Foster Care Training

Working with foster and juvenile justice involved youth can be challenging given the generational patterns of trauma, poverty, incarceration, etc. So, it’s essential for providers to understand gen-erational trauma and how to work with foster and juvenile justice involved youth from a genera-tional perspective. Without this perspective, we can have unrealistic expectations for youth and their families and encounter barriers to engagement. Providers will learn strategies to support system-involved youth with generational patterns of trauma within their families.
