Foster Care Training

This training teaches how to understand family relationships in a way that will allow us to support our system-involved youth/families using a strength-based lens with the PITH (Pain in the Heart) Questions. Our focus is on traumatic attachment ruptures that our kids in the continuum of care, and their families, have experienced. Learn how so help our youth by better understanding structural and attachment-based family theories so we can better help our system involved youth who have experienced multiple serious traumas in their lives. We will explore the link between past trauma, current feelings about the past trauma, and the fear of what might happen in the future. Since our kids are acting out these traumas in their behavioral symptoms, it is important to be able to understand these from their perspective so that we can more easily respond to the healing necessary to increase positive outcomes.
