Foster Care Training

One of the most significant challenges for those supporting system involved youth is to effectively coach them to maintain their own inner security while navigating conflict with those they live, work, play with and with those that have power over them to create win/win outcomes for themselves. In this training, we will explore the coaching of mediation, self-advocacy, and self-regulation techniques and how they can enhance our capacity to effectively support system-involved youth towards successful vital relationships. The aim of this workshop is to foster young people’s sustainable, transformational behaviors that lead to healthy community engagement and improved outcomes, as well as strengthen their resilience and ability to heal from traumatic events. Practicing and sharing the methods outlined by this workshop will allow us to improve the practice of how we empower system-involved youth and families.
