Foster Care Training

NOTE: 2 Day Training

In this training participants will learn about violence as a multi-determined phenomenon, and will become familiar with notions of violence as a preventable public health issue. Participants will examine the preventability of violence in a variety of interpersonal and institutional aspects. We will learn about prevention and intervention tools and discuss their applicability to our work in schools and within family and community dynamics. Participants will gain knowledge of violence embedded in our language and attitudes regarding diverse and marginalized populations. Additionally, participants will acquire skills at identifying the dynamics of power and dominance Vs, cooperation and collaboration and note their impact on personal, social and political relations. Together we will consider violence prevention solutions, learn about deliberative dialogues and study circles forming to dismantle the face and forms of violence.
