Foster Care Training

Building strengths for youth in care is an important component of strength-based case plans. Research suggests that building of strengths (alongside addressing needs) provides more positive outcomes for youth than addressing needs alone. This training will provide opportunities for caregivers and families to explore strategies for building strengths of foster youth. Interactive activities involving art-based talent-building approaches will be used. Caregivers and providers will have an opportunity to promote the talents and interests of youth and learn how these can be leveraged to address other needs that may exist.
