Foster Care Training

This session explores grief as a natural and personal response to loss, emphasizing that it affects everyone differently based on individual factors like personality, life experience, and the nature of the loss. Participants will review the five stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—and discuss how grief impacts children in foster care. Even in stable placements, these children often face significant losses, including family, home, routines, and personal belongings. Understanding this grief is essential to providing empathetic, trauma-informed support.
