Foster Care Training

The training will provide an overview of relationship violence, including statistics of the prevalence of relationship violence in the U.S. as well as risk and protective factors related to relationship violence. We will also review therapeutic approaches that are supportive to individuals and families healing from relationship violence. This training will also review relationship violence in the context of the dynamics of power within interpersonal relationships as well as power in relation to a greater context in society, such as the oppressive forces that individuals that hold marginalized identities are harmed by which exacerbates risk to relationship violence.
