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. \nCaregivers Register Here

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Emotion Coaching
DESCRIPTION:Emotion Coaching is a research based method from the Talaris Institute and the Gottman Institute that gives caregivers a way to help children learn about emotions. Research shows that when caregivers value and guide emotions using this important method\, children do better in many ways.\n\nThese children tend to:\n\nForm stronger friendships with peers\nHave higher self esteem\nRegulate their moods more easily\nBe more successful in their problem solving skills\nBounce back from emotional events more quickly\nGet sick less often\n\n\nEmotion Coaching helps prepare children from birth to 5 years old for the challenges they face throughout their lifetime. A child’s ability to delight in the happy times and recover from the bad ones is a key part of emotional health. By learning and practicing the 5 steps of Emotion Coaching\, you can make an important investment in a child’s future.\n\n\nCaregivers Register Here

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Infant Safety and Care for Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:If it’s been a while since you cared for an infant or if you’ve never cared for one before\, this is the class for you. This 2.5 hour webinar provides the basic information you’ll need to care for babies ages birth to 12 months and keep them safe. You will practice identifying the infant behaviors that are the clue to understanding your baby’s needs. You will then apply this knowledge with some of the fundamental tasks of infant care (holding\, feeding\, diapering\, sleep and medical care) while considering how trauma may impact how you provide care in these areas. Finally\, you will learn about elements of infant safety\, including safe sleep and the Period of Purple Crying. \nCaregivers Register Here

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Kinship 101:  Information for Relatives and Suitable Others
DESCRIPTION:The financial\, legal\, and emotional issues of raising a relative’s child can be challenging. Services and support when raising a relative’s child can be a lifesaver.  Kinship caregiving in all of its forms is becoming increasingly common.  Recent WA State child welfare data (Partners for Our Children-1/1/2015)   show that 41 percent of children in out of home care are living with a relative.  Many more children are living with relatives or other close family friends informally\, without the ongoing supervision of the state’s foster care system. \nOften kinship caregivers do not access the benefits which are available to them. This class will address the issues that Kinship Caregivers struggle with most: \n\nFinancial Needs\nLegal Challenges\nNavigating public service systems\nNeeding more social services\nInformation about resources/caregiving\n\nThis 90 minute webinar is designed for licensed and unlicensed caregivers caring for children currently or previously involved in the dependency system.  Caregiver Core Training (CCT) is not a prerequisite. However\, this course is supplemental to CCT for kinship caregivers\, and can be a field experience during CCT. \nCaregivers Register Here
