This training is designed for foster and adoptive parents to deepen their understanding of the hidden struggles children face due to trauma. We will explore how trauma affects the brain and body, influencing behavior, emotions, and attachment. Participants will learn practical tools to support healing, strengthen relationships, and create a sense of safety for their children. Through discussion and hands-on strategies, caregivers will gain insights into trauma-informed parenting, fostering resilience, and building secure connections.
