In this training, you will learn about both encouraging sibling relationships and mitigating the impacts of secondary traumatic stress in children.
Foster and adoptive parents want to encourage positive, healthy relationships between their children – whether those children joined the family by birth, foster care, or adoption. This training will examine the sibling relationship in light of the unique perspectives of birth children.
Unique challenges can arise from a family becoming involved in the child welfare system. This presentation will examine secondary traumatic stress (STS) as may be experienced by children, particularly biological kids in foster and adoptive families. This training will explore symptoms and risks of STS, as well as ways that parents and professionals can help children who are impacted by STS.
