Foster Care Training

This training welcomes participants to define, identify, and discuss microaggressions and how they can impact the overall well-being of people who are at the receiving end of them, especially within therapeutic relationships. As microaggressions are defined as “hidden messages” that “target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership” (Sue, 2010), it is crucial for them to be uncovered in order to interrupt the perpetuation of negative impact they have on those targeted. Participants will learn how to recognize and work through the process of interrupting microaggressions in order to support the establishment of culturally sensitive and emotionally safe relationships in their direct care with youth and families.
