SUMMARY:While You Wait 4\, Meeting Children's Cultural Needs
DESCRIPTION:A child standing on your front porch has many emotions about what awaits them on the other side of that door. What is their first impression? What can we do to set up a diverse and representative environment in our home? What are some ways we can increase our understanding or respect for different cultural beliefs and backgrounds? The mandate when placing children in care has always been to be culturally sensitive to the child’s needs. But it is more than a mandate\, it is an important part of creating a safe and welcoming environment. Join fellow caregivers in discussing how to have a culturally sensitive home and meet the individual cultural needs of children in care.

SUMMARY:Fostering as Part of a Team
DESCRIPTION:As a caregiver for a child in the foster care system\, you are part of a parenting team. The courts\, the social worker\, CASA\, GAL\, medical team\, therapists and the child’s biological family all have a role to play. Knowing what your role is and how to partner with the other members of the child’s team improves the child’s care\, your experience as a foster parent\, and the long-term outcomes of the placement. \nDuring this supportive facilitated discussion\, we will talk about who the members of the child’s foster care team are and their roles\, and identify ways to promote positive relationships with them. This will include a look at how to support family time and partnership with the biological/first family\, and understanding the role of DCYF staff and how to positively partner with them for placement success. \nYou will also identify the opportunities and limitations of the caregiver role in decision-making and planning. \nOver the course of four sessions\, you will develop strategies as a foster care teammate and help your fellow caregivers do the same.
