Foster Care Training

Effective communication skills are essential for those who support system-involved youth, enabling them to establish trusting relationships, convey information clearly, and actively listen to the needs and perspectives of youth and their families. Developing active listening skills, practicing empathy, and utilizing appropriate communication strategies, such as open-ended questions and non-judgmental language, can enhance communication and promote positive engagement with system-involved youth and their families. The training aims to equip participants with the necessary skills, knowledge, and strategies to effectively communicate, understand cultural contexts, and engage with both system-involved youth and their families.
