Foster Care Training

Working with youth in foster care can be challenging given the generational patterns of trauma, poverty, incarceration, etc. So, it’s essential for providers to understand generational trauma and how to work with youth in foster care from a generational perspective. Without this perspective, we can have unrealistic expectations for youth and their families and encounter barriers to engagement, especially when working with youth and families in child welfare who are impacted by incarceration. Providers will learn strategies to support youth with generational patterns of trauma related to incarceration within their families.
