The training will cover:
Easy strategies to mitigate safety risks
Evidence-based stress management tips & tools
Where to find help
Opportunities to connect with other families
Refreshments, take-away items, and a child care stipend are available for those attending in-person sessions. Local Community Services agencies will also be sharing information and take-away safety items such as medication lockboxes and trigger locks.
A recording of the Virtual session will be made available to registered participants.
* Please note that while the training content is designed for a primarily foster and kinship family audience, strategies shared are helpful to families of all types, and to family-serving professionals. All interested parties are encouraged to register!
