Foster Care Training

A suggested method for supporting system-involved youth (SIY) in transcending their negative past experiences is to effectively engage them in accessing their hereditary strengths, talents, and passions, enhanced with future envisioning, and performance coaching towards building a life that is constructive, inspires joy, is fun, and promotes success in social settings, academics, and career related activities, and brings about a feeling of security in the individual that leads to healthy engagement with community. In this interactive training, we will explore how to enhance our capacity to support SIY by exploring Strengths-based Coaching Techniques (outlined in the above paragraph) that foster the relationship with SIY and sparks motivation to get them excited about building a life worth living to them! The practices shared in this training will enhance the skills of participants to promote young people’s emotional development and wellbeing as well as strengthen their resilience and ability to heal from traumatic events and lead a meaningful life. Practicing and sharing the methods outlined by this workshop will allow us to improve the practice of how we empower system-involved youth.
