Foster Care Training

This training will demonstrate that Cultural Humility is the best approach to supportive care for system-involved youth and their families. Every person is a unique combination of cultural traits that are influenced by personal and familial experiences of trauma, grief, joy, identity, and purpose. Thus, every individual has a personal culture that cannot be taught through bullet points, but can only be understood through the lens of Cultural Humility. For people in a supportive role, a mindset of Cultural Humility recognizes the person we are caring for as the expert on their personal culture, and acknowledges the individuality and unique experiences of system-involved youth and their families.
