Understanding Trauma: Level 3 - Family Home Training Description: Given what has been learned in Levels 1 and 2, this training will focus on how to execute trauma informed care with children placed in family home settings, including family foster care families working towards reunification. The course will cover topics, such as, the logistics of working with children in a family home environment, how to best prepare, how to alleviate and respond to stressors in the family home environment, and how to identify and guide expectations. Participants will engage in practical activities from a foundation of understanding the scientific and sociological processes that facilitate pro-social connection and guidance to build resilience.Location info:Four Oaks 1924 D StreetCedar Rapids Trainers: Sara Butler-Shoop and Jody Unsen Registration will begin at 8:30 AM.
