The course will help bilingual providers and supervisors move into a more thoughtful and trauma informed connection with other bilingual providers, youth, and families.. Within this course, participants will increase their understanding of the different backgrounds of the Latinx foster youth experience in the Bay Area, specifically focusing on how to apply this understanding to practice. Learners will take part in experiential learning experiences through guided discussions with fellow participants about material presented to apply within their practice. This material will include both personal reflections on Latinx identities, work with foster youth, supervisory work, and broader socio-political reflections. Learners will discuss the ways that culture and/or immigration experience affects services in Latinx foster youth and families. This course aims to increase participants’ depth of relating with common experiences in the Latinx community, broadening compassionate and appropriate treatment by dismantling stereotypes and increasing awareness of differences in Latinx communities.
