This workshop is designed to provide resource parents with the knowledge and skills needed to effetively care for children and teens who have experienced trauma.
Participants will learn how traua-informed parenting can support children’s safety, permanency, and well-being, and engage in skill-building exercises that will help them apply this knowledge to the children in their care.
This workshop was developed by the NCTSN with the support of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It has been designed as a general introduction to child traumatic stress for all resource parents. Resource parents and professionals from more than two dozen agencies across the United States contributed to the curriculum, which uses detailed case vignettes – as well as participants’ own experiences with children in their care – as a foundation for teaching important concepts related to child traumatic stress.
This curriculum can be downloaded for FREE or can be ordered as a trainer &/ trainee manual for $50. Visit the web site for more information: www.NCTSN.org/RPC
