Raising foster and adopted youth poses many challenges to parents, guardians and educators. To address these challenges and support your efforts, we have created this unique trauma informed training based upon the important work of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Restorative Justice, Bruce Perry’s Child Trauma Academy, and Collaborative Problem Solving.

In this workshop participants learn about the effects of significant trauma and disrupted attachments on the developing brain. Foster parents also learn problem-solving strategies that help children and teens regulate their emotions, connect with others, and build important life skills. Participants will leave with an increased ability to create lasting behavioral change in their homes.
