Foster Care Training

Examine the reasons why you chose to work in this field. They can be a “double-edged sword”— by being both the very things that make you excellent at your work and that cause burn-out. Discuss self-disclosure with clients, explore ourselves and counter-transference, identify how we know when we are over-involved with our clients, and review ways to address this. Explore how your own “stuff” impacts your work with youth and their families and, if you are a supervisor, how to support those you supervisees with all of this.
