Foster Care Training

Every day in our culture, men are harming others and themselves because they are unable to be present with their own emotions. In this training, we’ll explore the acculturation of men around their own emotionality, reflect on the mediating role of culture in emotional awareness, reflect on theories of developing and supporting the development of emotional self- and other-awareness, and engage in practices for helping young people develop and increase their emotional intelligence. While we will focus on men, many principles of the training are generally applicable to developing EQ for all young people, and of course the training is open to all providers.
