Foster Care Training

During and after stressful and/or traumatic crisis situations, our nervous system goes into a fight or flight/sympathetic dominant state. Both Energy Medicine (EM) and Verbal First Aid (VFA) techniques can quickly create regulation in response to stress situations. This training will help participants understand how the body reacts during stress/crisis and in particular, the nervous system. Participants will learn EM VFA techniques and how they influence the nervous system and can deescalate crisis situations. There will be instruction on how to use them with clients and teach them to caretakers/families. Material will be taught through lecture, demonstrations, and practice.
