This training is geared towards service providers. Often times when people interact with one another, some of their own bias might impact the dynamics of the interaction, as well as the relationship. This training will focus on theoretical concepts that shed light on relationship dynamics that can occur with families and service providers. Specifically this trainer will consider the theoretical concept of “Family Romance” and discuss how this may apply to work with foster care. Service providers will be oriented to how these concepts could help them reflect on their dynamics when working with youth and improve engagement and service success.
