This training provides lessons in trauma-informed care for foster parents.
This 14-hour training program helps foster parents work together better as partners to understand the children in their care, and it gives foster parents the tools they need to help their children develop a positive sense of who they are.
The training consists of a brief pre-training and post-training survey, and seven modules: an introduction, five training modules, and a wrap-up module. Each of the five training modules includes learning objectives, three brief videos, the PowerPoint slides used in each video, a reading assignment, an open-book Knowledge Review (quiz), activities, and optional additional reading.
Those who complete the training receive 14 hours of continuing education credits and a Certificate of Completion. The “KEY CORE BELIEFS” book is included, free, with the training. The activities can be downloaded free from the links provided in each module, or purchased as a 32-page printed workbook.
