Foster Care Training

“When people say “there needs to be accountability”, more often than not, people are looking for consequences and punitive action. To truly understand accountability, we need to move away from these punitive definitions, and look more deeply into what true accountability looks like for each individual and the group. This workshop focuses on fostering open communication and cultivating a practice of accountability with systems-involved youth. Leaning on the wisdom of restorative justice practice and practitioners, this workshop will use videos to learn about how to think of accountability in more expansive ways. Participants will explore strategies to help youth deepen authentic connection, enhance courageous communication, and unpack the true meaning of accountability. This interactive session will equip providers with new language and tools to help guide youth to deepen their understanding of accountability”
