SUMMARY:Foster Care and Adoption Education Classes – Hybrid
DESCRIPTION:This education option is the balance between the in-person and online options. It is best suited for individuals who want to move swiftly and prefer a blended learning style. \nYour education will begin with an online pre-test as well as introductory and a guest speaker section of online learning. This can be completed at your convenience prior to the one required live session. The live session is a shorter\, in-person day of learning. Following the in-person session\, you will finish by viewing content from two more guest speakers\, closing online material\, and a post-test.

SUMMARY:Creating a NEW Narrative
DESCRIPTION:What do teens bring to the table? What assets do they have since they have no money? First\, teens need to be seen beyond their needs while in foster care. They need to be viewed as experts in their own right from an asset-based perspective. This session is designed to expose participants to the concept of ‘asset-framing’. Michael facilitates a guided discussion on how to develop a strength-based mindset around teens.

SUMMARY:Understanding Complex Grief and Loss in Foster Care
DESCRIPTION:May is National Foster Care Month and this training was planned with foster youth and foster families in mind! Grief and loss are deeply imbedded in the foster care process. When youth are removed from their family\, they often grieve. Similarly\, when foster families care for youth that eventually leave their home\, they often grieve. This webinar will discuss the emotional processes of grief and loss as they apply to both foster youth and foster families. Case examples will be included that illustrate how grief and loss dynamics present themselves and how understanding foster care grief and loss can help in responding in a supportive and healing manner.
