Foster Care Training

Training explores locating ourselves in our privilege and accountability as white identifying individuals, therapists, and staff at WAG. This directly impacts how we work with clients, clients’ systems of care (including foster system and associated care teams, juvenile court and probation, families and community support systems), colleagues, and our own internal awareness and developmental growth. Some examples are: building rapport; interrupting our own implicit bias; rupture and repair work; staying in relationship with others; and incorporating a systemic lens when working with clients and through the resources offered at West Coast. Intersectional identity is prioritized.
