Foster Care Training

The training will focus on strategies that providers can use if a crisis escalates to a point that is physically unsafe for staff, family, or client. Discussion will focus on harm-reduction strategies in the event objects are thrown, someone is being hit or kicked, as well as techniques to evade and escape dangerous situations. Throughout there will be a discussion of how bias can impact judgements about safety, responses to safety, and personal comfort levels of safety. Participants will receive strategies to mitigate this bias and reactions.
