Foster Care Training

This deep dive into the intersections of gender, queerness, and BIPoC identity pays homage to the Black, Chicana, and Sikh Feminist frameworks of Kimberlé Crenshaw, Patricia Hill Collins, Elizabeth Martínez, and Valarie Kaur. We will begin to explore the complex relationships between power and domination, explore the history of cultural erasure, and look toward a future of intersectional solidarity and how it impacts the youth and families we serve. This interactive workshop uses video and imagery to engage participants in building a more holistic understanding of these terms and legacies and how it applies to their work with systems-involved youth and families. Training program includes breakout room discussions, independent reflection, and whole group learning and dialogue.
