Parenting Sexually Abused Children
Tuesday, May 10, 2011 from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Presenter: Mary Long
Many children come into care as a result of sexual abuse. This class is designed to help foster parents identify what happens to a child who has been sexually abused, understand why sexual abuse occurs and how sexual abuse affects children and their families, identify the effects of sexual abuse on children, and identify strategies to help children heal.
Avoiding Disruptions
Thursday, June 9, 2011 from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Presenter: Mary Long
Foster parents understand that the case plan goal of the children in their home is usually reunification, and they expect that the children will leave their home in an orderly fashion at some point in the future, But, what can foster parents do when, as a result of unplanned circumstances or unmanageable behavior, an unplanned move seems to be in the best interest of the child and the foster family? This class will examine some of the factors that contribute to instability and unplanned disruptions, and how foster parents can recover from the losses experienced when a placement disrupts.
Additional classes about Attachment and Understanding Medications are being scheduled now. Stay tuned for additional information!
