SUMMARY:Parenting with Resilience: Virtual Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Support for Parents of Teens and Young Adults \nParenting with Resilience is for those who are parenting teens and young adults. This support group style cohort will have evidence-based practices on the unique joys and challenges of parenting teens who have experienced loss\, trauma\, and separation. \nWe want to bring together those of us who are walking the journey of raising teens and young adults who have experienced loss\, trauma\, or separation through kinship care\, foster care\, or adoption. This is a community that can be a soft place to land when walking through hard seasons. \nContact Jordan Hope Vera at jordanhope@iamfosteringhope.org for any questions.

SUMMARY:Where Do I Begin? Applying trauma-informed practices today.
DESCRIPTION:One of the difficult parts about new interventions or information is how to start applying it to your life TODAY.  \nCome join other foster and adoptive parents for a time of virtual learning\, support\, and discussion led by one of our Fostering Hope staff as we talk about the application of trauma-informed care. \n We will dive into the basics of WHY trauma-informed parenting helps us as we raise children who have experienced loss\, trauma\, or separation through foster care or adoption. We will share practical tools and strategies YOU can start applying. Whether this is your first time hearing about trauma-informed care\, or you have been doing this work for a long time\, there is something for everyone in our discussion-based learning. \nFoster parents will receive a certificate of attendance for continuing education credits.

SUMMARY:Can They Handle The Truth? Talking to My Child About Their Story
DESCRIPTION:As parents of children with trauma\, we might find it hard to talk to our children about their difficult story. We might find ourselves wondering if we will retraumatize them or hurt them by talking about it. The truth is\, many times\, they are already thinking about their story and we must create a safe space to allow them to process it. In this session\, we will learn tips for telling our children the truth about their history.  \nThis training will be held virtually and you will receive the link to join the call once you register. The trainer and facilitator has been there and understands how difficult it could be to parent a child who has experienced trauma.

SUMMARY:Connecting with My Child: Trauma's Impact on Attachment
DESCRIPTION:Connection is the primary source of healing for children from a hard place. Many times a child’s history has taught them to protect themselves from connection. In this session\, we will review how attachment style is formed in early childhood and practical strategies to foster connection and attachment with a child\, no matter their history.  \n Our parent coaching sessions are online trainings with a small number of participants. This is a great time to bring your specific questions as our parent trainer will be able to give more one-on-one answers due to the small number of participants in the group.  \nThis is an online training. You will receive the link to join after registering for the event.

SUMMARY:TBRI® for Teens: Correction
DESCRIPTION:In this Parent Support Session\, we will look deeper into how to incorporate the correction strategies from TBRI®for teens. Correction is about looking at the need behind the behavior and meeting that need. We might believe our teen has the same skills as their peers\, but because trauma impacts development\, we will have to teach those skills to them. Many times\, correction begins with setting our bar where they can be successful. Join other parents who are also navigating the teen years during this small group training and discussion. \n Foster parents will receive a certificate of completion for CEUs.
