SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Relative/Kinship Caregiving:  Supporting the Child 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. \nSpecial Instructions:\n\n\nThis course is one of two that are focused on supporting kin caregivers to navigate the changes in their family relationships. The other focuses on understanding how your relationship with the child(ren)’s parents have changed\, and learning a communication technique to reduce conflict and increase collaboration in service of supporting the child(ren). We highly encourage you to sign up for the partner course to this one\, “Raising Your Relative: Navigating Change in Family Dynamics (webinar)” — https://allianceforchildwelfare.org/content/raising-your-relative-naviga… — which focuses on understanding how this has changed your relationships with other adults in your family\, and learning a communication technique to reduce conflict and increase collaboration. \nCaregivers Register Here

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Advanced Adoption:  Effects of Trauma and Loss on Adopted Children
DESCRIPTION:For many children in foster care\, the path up to\, including and even after adoption can include trauma\, grief and loss. As a potential adoptive parent\, it’s crucial that you understand the story a foster child is bringing to you and what part you can play in that. \nThis course\, “Advanced Adoption: The Effects of Trauma and Loss on Adopted Children\,” takes you beyond the introductory level into beginning to understand more deeply the emotional\, mental and physical needs an adoptive child may have. A startlingly high number of adoptions are not successful\, which is why it is so important that you have realistic expectations and adequate support\, both of which are explored in this training. \nYou will first be guided through a discussion around the definition of adoption\, including what it is and what it isn’t\, and you will be encouraged to share your ideals and goals as an adoptive parent. You will then spend a majority of your time learning about the impact of trauma\, grief\, loss and ACES (adverse childhood experiences) on development in adopted children\, and exploring how to recognize behaviors related to these issues. This includes training on attachment and learning ways to strengthen your bond with the children in your care depending on their attachment style. \nWhen you leave the training\, you will have numerous new training resources and supports to assist you as you navigate this new environment. \nCaregivers Register Here
