Foster Care Training

This 1-day training will provide an overview of the intersection of shame and trauma. Trauma survivors carry heavy burdens of shame that impact all aspects of life. Despite how prevalent shame is amongst foster youth, it’s rarely discussed. This training will focus on strategies to heal shame with system involved youth and young adults who have experienced trauma. Participants will also learn about self-compassion and strategies to practice self-compassion when supporting system involved youth and young adults who have experienced trauma including Foster Youth and Commercially Sexually Exploited Children.
