Foster Care Training

This course will teach about various evidence-based approaches for managing anxiety around the holidays for caregivers and youth in care. We will explore strategies for coping with expectations and creating structure for children during holiday breaks. Participants will identify the social-emotional concerns of children in care during the holidays, including grief and loss, emotional overload, disruption of routines, social connections, and building healthy relationships. Participants will enjoy an overview of practical arts-based activities that promote emotional well-being and build connections for caregivers and children in care.
