Foster Care Training

Training Summary: There is a large need in California for serving monolingual Spanish Speaking LatinX/Latine families through service delivery. Unfortunately, there aren’t enough bilingual providers to meet the growing need. Therefore, it is imperative to build on our knowledge and skills in working with translators and interpreters in the field while remaining therapeutic and culturally responsive. In this workshop, we will review the best practices that the literature addresses when providing linguistically appropriate and culturally responsive services with the use of translators and interpreters. Class Objectives: (what knowledge, ideas or skills will participants explore, learn, practice, etc during the training) 1. Review culturally responsive approaches when working with Spanish Speaking LatinX/Latine families in service delivery. 2. Identify common challenges when working with translators & interpreters in service delivery. 3. Identify best practices in using translators & interpreters in our therapeutic work with monolingual families while remaining culturally responsive. Participants will be able to: 1. Apply learned best practices to our work with youth and families and in supervision. 2. Review material provided in training to add to available client resources to enhance providers’ work with youth and families.
