after implementing the training
provided by The Foundation for Family Healing!!!
Foster Parents will directly benefit from additional and practical two-day trainings in Understanding Trauma and Severe Behaviors in Adolescents (in addition to state required trainings).
Increase the Success of placements of children in care!!!
Reduce the need for continued services which absorb funding with limited improvement for children with severe behaviors (**Training the Foster/Adoptive Parents who have the children most of the time rather than funding external temporary counseling and support services!)
Educate and transform your team’s understanding of the needs of children in care and the accountability measures needed to examine when choosing therapeutic vendors!
Move your Agency from a “Management” model of treating children and families to a “Healing” model that works to create greater autonomy to every family and less dependency upon the system at large.
Be a part of the growing work nationally of reducing the number of children who age out of foster care with no family to speak of! Improve permanency of placements! Even if they are “older” teens!!!
Your County Can Receive!!!
An increase in the success of foster and adoptive placements through advanced education, training and support.
Reduction in the long-term treatment costs for children in foster and adoptive placements.
Increasing the caregivers ability to relate and understand his/her child in order to reduce the potential for residential treatment services in the future.
Empowering parents to be the conduit of healing, replacing the need for continual intensive therapeutic interventions outside of the home by professionals.

Parents Will Receive!!!
Empower parents to identify the stressor(s) causing a child’s disruptive behavior in the home.
Assist parents in becoming aware of their own emotional reactivity when facing a difficult parenting situation.
Validate parents in their struggles and reaffirm their abilities to continue implementing love-based parenting.
Prevent parents from reverting back to non-effective parenting tools that create fear and stress within the home environment leading to family disruption and rejection cycles.
Empowering parents and strengthening them to find Love-based solutions that are based in an understanding of stress and its impact on the brain and body.
Develop a parent’s ability to stay attuned to the level of stress within the home and attentive to the unspoken needs of their children in order to prevent the escalation of behaviors that previously required crisis interventions (i.e. calls to 911,etc).
Prevent families from targeting and blaming a single child within the family system.
Assisting parents in finding responses to family situations that are specific to the child’s unique and individual needs and to assist in implementing these responses within the home environment.
Broaden a parent’s ability to remain regulated in the face of threatening behaviors while in the home environment.
