Foster Care Training

The intention of this training is to offer participants an opportunity to explore the Narrative perspectives, emphasizing that “problems are problems, and people are people,” and that problems are defined by our relationships to the stories we tell ourselves, shaped by interactions with socio-cultural and systemic factors, others, and environments. Case examples, experiential-learning, and a collaborative, community-building orientation will help facilitate participants’ learning. Participants can expect to gain Narrative strategies to support engaging foster youth in meaning-making, telling their stories, separating their lives from problems, and re-authoring their stories through identifying strengths, natural supports, and identifying empowering alternative steps to take that align with their hopes, values, and case plan goals.
