Supporting Healthy Transitions for School Age Children and Teens in Foster Care with Andrea Chatwin
Apr 21st 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Transition practices need to reflect what research and experience tells us about the impact of change, loss and trauma on the physical, emotional and psychological development of school age children and youth. Caregivers will gain new insight into supporting safe, respectful and healthy transitions for this age group.
Practical issues such as how to monitor and report changes to baseline functioning will be addressed and new skills for responding to big feelings and hard questions will be presented. Guiding Principles of Transitioning taken from Andrea Chatwin’s (2018) work on Transitioning Children from Foster Care to Adoption will be applied specifically to supporting transitions for children in care from a trauma informed perspective.
