Join our trauma-informed workshop to gain a well-rounded understanding of anxiety and depression and how it can affect the youth in foster care. Our instructor will begin by examining how trauma and abuse lead to anxiety and depression and how you can recognize the signs in the children and youth in your care, including warning signs of suicidal thinking, including what to say and not say. By exploring case studies and support tools, participants will learn how to respond in a trauma-informed manner that builds a supported and grounded identity.
By the end of the training, feel confident in your ability to recognize anxiety and depression, stay continuously grounded and supportive, even during crisis moments, and know what to do when a child is suicidal, withdrawn, or emotionally shut down.

For children in foster care, hygiene basics such as bathing, teeth brushing and hair combing can have negative associations that can be too difficult for a child to maintain. In this training, learn how past trauma, neglect, and lack of education can all be contributing factors to hygiene indifference. This class will help you gain an understanding of how lack of hygiene can lead to negative consequences, both physically and mentally. You will learn hygiene practices you can implement with your child to help them address related fears and then patiently work towards positive experiences with cleanliness.
