Foster Care Training

This interactive training provides those that support system-involved youth with a comprehensive overview of California-specific legal and ethical standards for delivering services and support via telehealth. Through real-world scenarios, case vignettes, and applied best practices, participants will deepen their understanding of informed consent, confidentiality, and appropriate telehealth use with vulnerable populations. Emphasis will be placed on the unique needs of foster youth and system-involved youth, including how to assess telehealth suitability, ensure continuity of care, and navigate consent and emergency protocols across systems. This training equips providers to ethically and effectively use telehealth as a tool for access and equity in supporting system-involved youth with complex behavioral health needs.
