Foster Care Training

Grief is a natural response to loss – death losses as well as non-death losses. While grief is the most universal experience, how each individual system involved youth or caregiver processes loss and feels supported is highly unique. This training will explain four primary grieving styles, explore complications that arise when grieving styles are unacknowledged, highlight best practices for providing support for system involved youth or their caregiver with each unique style, and help participants understand their own personal style. Participants in this training will be informed through presenter instruction, case study review, self-reflection, learning activities, breakout rooms, guided discussion, and questions & answers
