Foster Care Training

Issues of class and socioeconomic status are often at the core of some families’ experience of oppression and mistreatment. Their interaction with these social constructs often leave families struggling to name their experience. This training will focus on historical factors that may influence families’ access to resources and the ways it also may impact engagement with providers or child welfare workers. Participants will examine how issues of social class manifest in their direct clinical work with clients and within the mental health field more broadly.
