This training was uniquely created to address the complex needs of students experiencing adoption, foster care, or kinship care and support the well-being of K-12 students!
Reaching across our nation with the goal of impacting every school district, this training is an essential part of a trauma-informed system for schools striving for students’ well-being.
It provides the foundational knowledge, values, skills, and resources for school counselors, social workers, psychologists, and school-based therapists to effectively support the mental health and well-being of children experiencing foster care, adoption, kinship care, and/or significant separation and loss of birth family, community, and culture.
The 8 modules focus on support and therapeutic interventions which improve well-being and promote permanency for K-12 students and their foster, adoptive, and guardianship families. The self-paced content can also be relevant for addressing the needs of immigrant /refugee populations and students who are experiencing other types of traumatic experiences.
Work with students and their behaviors in ways that support their well-being by using this training which:
