SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Why Children Lie:  Development\, Trauma\, and Supporting the Truth
DESCRIPTION:Lying is a complex\, layered behavior that involves both the person telling the lie and the perception of the person receiving it\, as well as each person’s history and development. Surprised it’s not so black and white? This training will take you through understanding what lying is\, why it happens and how to support the truth. \n“Why Children Lie” addresses lying on several levels. You will look at your own attitude about lying and how your values and beliefs affect that perception. The course will cover what lying looks like in different stages of development and what the motivating factors may be for a child. You will also talk about the societal norms around lying and how to support a child telling the truth. You will learn how to set a child up for being truthful through positive communication\, and how to make changes to your own behavior and responses. \nThe impact of trauma is a big part of this training\, too\, as trauma and other diagnoses impact the ability to be truthful. You will talk about how lying can be a trauma response and what you can do to change the pattern. \nWhen you leave the class\, you will have a deeper understanding of how to respond to children when they lie and how to prevent lying. \nRegistration Instructions:\n\n\n\nUnder Select Your Class below\, click on the Classes Available button\nFind the training you wish to attend and click Register Now\nIf you are not already logged in (profile required)\, enter your Username and Password and click Log In\nClick the large blue Register for this class button at the right\nYou are now registered!

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Fostering Children and Youth through Transition\, Grief and Loss:  Helping Children with Their Feelings

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Relative/Kinship Caregiving:  Navigating Change in Family Dynamics
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. As a grandparent or relative caregiver\, this choice also changed your relationship with the child(ren)’s parents and sometimes with other adults in your family. In this course\, we will explore how family relationships between adults have change and how you feel about these changes. We will learn and practice solution-focused communication skills that might help in navigating relationships with the parents of the child(ren) you are caring for. Lastly\, we will review resources and sources of support to help lighten your load. \nSpecial Instructions:\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 and supporting the children placed with you as they experience complicated feelings about their parents and their new living situation. We highly encourage you to sign up for the partner course to this one\, “Raising Your Relative: Supporting the Child in Your Care (webinar)” — https://allianceforchildwelfare.org/content/raising-your-relative-supporting-child-your-care-webinar — which focuses on understanding and supporting the children placed in your care.\n\nRegistration Instructions:\n\n\n\nUnder Select Your Class below\, click on the Classes Available button\nFind the training you wish to attend and click Register Now\nIf you are not already logged in (profile required)\, enter your Username and Password and click Log In\nClick the large blue Register for this class button at the right\nYou are now registered!

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Advanced Adoption:  Effect 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. \nRegistration Instructions:\n\n\n\nUnder Select Your Class below\, click on the Classes Available button\nFind the training you wish to attend and click Register Now\nIf you are not already logged in (profile required)\, enter your Username and Password and click Log In\nClick the large blue Register for this class button at the right\nYou are now registered!

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - So You Have a New Placement\, Now What?
DESCRIPTION:Getting a new placement is a big transition\, and there are many ways you can prepare for and navigate the process to make it as successful as possible for yourself\, your family and the youth or child. This webinar addresses both the emotional elements to new placements and the practical details of requirements\, paperwork\, forms and expectations. \nYou will focus on four areas: Getting Ready; The First Day\, Week and Month; Settling In; and Working With the System. You will share ideas with other participants around how to prepare for a new placement\, including ways to make them feel comfortable and safety precautions to take.

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. \nRegistration Instructions:\n\n\n\nUnder Select Your Class below\, click on the Classes Available button\nFind the training you wish to attend and click Register Now\nIf you are not already logged in (profile required)\, enter your Username and Password and click Log In\nClick the large blue Register for this class button at the right\nYou are now registered!

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. \nYou made the choice to step in and provide care for a child when they needed it.

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Parenting Teens\, Part 1
DESCRIPTION:This first of seven part\, sequential course develops an understanding of the underlying causes of a youth’s behavior is one of the first steps in supporting their well-being. For children with behavioral challenges\, this is especially important. The first part in the “Parenting Teens” series is a dive into trauma-informed parenting. \nThis multimedia-driven course will expose you to a variety of composites of youths facing trauma and you will learn how events can affect long-term behaviors. A large portion of this training involves lessons about brain function and how trauma or disruptions manifest. Key learnings will include how to transition this information into real-life parenting situations\, including how to get to a place where you can understand the “why” behind the behavior. \nAt the close of the course you will be able to define trauma and recognize how traumatic stress and adversity impact a youth’s development. You also will understand the importance of responding to the underlying cause of a youth’s behaviors. You will leave with handouts and other resources to support your learning going forward. \nEach part of the Parenting Teens series should be taken in sequential order. \nSpecial Instructions:\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. Each part should be taken in order. This course is from the CORE Teen curriculum that was developed through a 3-year cooperative agreement with the Children’s Bureau. Spaulding for Children worked with several partners to create the curriculum: The Child Trauma Academy; The Center for Adoption Support and Education; the North American Council on Adoptable Children; and the University of Washington.

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Parenting Teens\, Part 2
DESCRIPTION:     Adapting parenting to the needs of youth requires both a toolbox of techniques and knowledge about the effects of their experiences.\n     The second part in the Parenting Teens series focuses on tailoring your approach to respect the impact of trauma. This course starts with a self-assessment exercise in which you will discuss your own responses to certain behaviors. This leads to a conversation about the science of brain function\, which continues from Part 1 to be foundational in this training\, with a lot of time devoted to learning about the two major adaptive responses to threats and state-dependent functioning. You will learn about the importance of understanding traumatic history\, how to start a conversation with a youth about their life\, and what the impacts of fear are on development and emotions.\n     Finally\, you will look at parenting techniques to “reframe” behaviors or actions that are based in trauma by finding positive alternatives that allow for growth and change in manageable ways. When you leave this training you will be encouraged to either practice parenting techniques you learned or think about which techniques would be challenging and why.\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.  \nSpecial Instructions:\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.

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE- Parenting Teens\, Part 3
DESCRIPTION: Grief and loss are powerful experiences in the lives of youth in out-of-home care. The third session in the “Parenting Teens” series concentrates on the way this history can create expectations or associations that can interfere with a child’s ability to form secure bonds.\n     In this course you will learn about the types of grief and loss and what impact each may have on a youth\, including the teen’s ability to attach. Learning how to promote attachment is a strong portion of this training\, as so much of building a supportive relationship lies with developing a sense of security. In that vein\, you also will learn about developing “felt safety\,” which happens when a youth truly believes they are safe; and developing structure and nurture\, essential components of safety and healing.\n     You will leave this training being able to identify specific actions you can take to develop attachment and strengthen your relationship with your youth\, and knowing how to be present in a way that shows support.\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.  \nSpecial Instructions:\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.

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Parenting Teens\, Part 4
DESCRIPTION:   When bringing together family members from different backgrounds\, it’s important everyone has the opportunity to express their own identities\, and this is even more vital for teens in out-of-home care. Part 4 in the Parenting Teens series looks at how to foster a youth’s sense of self and why that is so valuable.\n     You will start this training with a self-assessment around your own beliefs and sense of identity and where those came from. You will build on that knowledge as you transition into exploring how to incorporate a youth’s race\, culture and ethnicity into your family life. Part of the learning will explore how to ensure the youth has relationships that reflect their own race\, gender or sexual orientation to help them feel connected to their identity and feel pride in their culture\, which fosters self-esteem and well-being.\n     In addition to ethnic identity the course highlights sexual orientation and gender identity as crucial points to nurture. You will be guided through key terms\, examine struggles specific to this group and work through developmental challenges that may be present. An exercise in tips for creating safe environments for LGBTQ2S youth pulls all this together. You will learn key ways to communicate acceptance and support for youth who are questioning their sexuality or gender identity and/or identify as LGBTQ2S.\n     At the end of this critical course you will have the foundation for nurturing a youth’s identity in myriad ways and have specific ideas on how to show support and incorporate this into your family life.\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.  \nSpecial Instructions:\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.

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Talking with Children about Race
DESCRIPTION:1st of 2 Sessions\, 3 hours each \nRecent research has shown that children have very complex understandings of differences and how they make meaning of stereotypes. Far from being color-blind\, most children are aware of how their own skin color is an advantage or disadvantage.  They also judge their peers based on these differences — even though many adults believe young children in today’s generation don’t stereotype. Because of this\, it is important to give children anti-bias messages\, through actions and words that actively counter what they are internalizing and witnessing in the world. \nIn this workshop we will explore how children and youth learn and practice racism and privilege. Participants will learn strategies to for acting on teachable moments and ways to create counter narratives. \nThis training is presented by Dr. Caprice Hollins and/or Ilsa Govan\, M.A.\, co-founders of Cultures Connecting\, LLC.  \nDr. Hollins received her doctorate in clinical psychology with an emphasis in multicultural and community psychology in 1998. She has over 14 years of experience teaching graduate courses\, working with historically marginalized populations\, researching\, studying\, and facilitating race related conversations.

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Talking with Children about Race
DESCRIPTION:2nd of 2 Sessions\, 3 hours each \nRecent research has shown that children have very complex understandings of differences and how they make meaning of stereotypes. Far from being color-blind\, most children are aware of how their own skin color is an advantage or disadvantage.  They also judge their peers based on these differences — even though many adults believe young children in today’s generation don’t stereotype. Because of this\, it is important to give children anti-bias messages\, through actions and words that actively counter what they are internalizing and witnessing in the world. \nIn this workshop we will explore how children and youth learn and practice racism and privilege. Participants will learn strategies to for acting on teachable moments and ways to create counter narratives. \nThis training is presented by Dr. Caprice Hollins and/or Ilsa Govan\, M.A.\, co-founders of Cultures Connecting\, LLC.  \nDr. Hollins received her doctorate in clinical psychology with an emphasis in multicultural and community psychology in 1998. She has over 14 years of experience teaching graduate courses\, working with historically marginalized populations\, researching\, studying\, and facilitating race related conversations.
