SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Relative/Kinship Caregiving:  Supporting the Children in Your Care
DESCRIPTION:You made the choice to step in and provide care for a child when they needed it. This choice changed the day-to-day rhythms of your life\, and the life of the child or children you are caring for. The changes that come with assuming full time care of a child bring with them a host of feelings and often added stressors. In this course\, we will explore how this experience is impacting you and how to cope and care for yourself through the inevitable ups and downs. Then\, we will shift our focus to understanding the feelings and behaviors the children are experiencing. It is common for them to have conflicting feelings about their parents\, the situation and even you. We will consider how to accept their feelings\, respond to their statements and questions\, and support them as they navigate this. Lastly\, we will review resources and sources of support\, particularly support for children of all ages who are challenged by this transition and need support to not just survive but to thrive. \nRegister at:  Relative/Kinship Caregiving: Supporting the Child in Your Care (webinar) | Alliance for Child Welfare Excellence

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Parenting Teens (Part 6)
DESCRIPTION:   At the core of supporting a youth in your care is understanding their history and story\, as we have explored in the first Parenting Teens trainings. Part 5 and Part 6 are an in-depth look at understanding and managing challenging behaviors.\n    This training focuses on the strategies needed to handle more severe behavioral challenges or crises. You will first get an overview of intellectual and developmental disabilities\, including definitions and strategic guidance. The training then moves into a look at high-risk behaviors – what they look like\, what might cause them and appropriate responses. It’s important to understand the root of these actions so that the emphasis remains on positive communication and connectedness\, as well as keeping the teen safe. You will participate in discussions around how these behaviors present and what you can do to build a healthy dynamic with your youth.\n     When dealing with more severe behaviors\, it may be necessary to develop a safety plan or consult external services. The purpose of a safety plan is to help you and the youth proactively think through areas of high risk and collaborate on the steps that need to be taken to keep everyone safe. Professional supports may also help\, and the course will take you through several things to think about when considering treatment\, including cultural appropriateness.\n      Upon completion of this training\, you will have multiple tools to help you successfully manage these behaviors\, as well as an understanding of how to access the support system for yourself and your youth.\n\n\nThe “Parenting Teens” series comprises seven parts for prospective and current foster\, adoptive\, kinship and guardian parents who are or will be raising older children from foster care who have moderate to severe emotional and behavioral challenges. \nEach part should be taken in order.  \nRegister at:  Parenting Teens Part 6: Understanding and Managing Youth’s Challenging Behaviors Second Session (webinar) | Alliance for Child Welfare Excellence
