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. \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

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Parenting Teens\,  Part 1
DESCRIPTION:This first in a seven-part\, sequential course helps you develop an understanding of the underlying causes of a youth’s behavior\, which is one of the first steps in supporting their well-being. \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.

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 - 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. \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. \n\nCaregivers Register Here\n

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Honoring Their History:  Memory Preservation for Children in Care
DESCRIPTION:Without memories\, how do you understand who you are? These slices of life are tied to emotions\, learning and growth\, and help us maintain connections to our personal history and life story. \nOften we use tools like photographs or stories or memorabilia to recall feelings or look back on events. The new training “Honoring Their History: Memory Preservation for Children in Care” focuses on how to support a child’s well-being through the recording of memories and other parts of their life during their time away from their family. \nThis webinar introduces the idea of memory preservation as central to a child’s welfare\, because it provides many benefits to emotional and mental health. You will be guided through how to start the process and the different methods of preservation\, and will be encouraged to think about which would work best for you and your family. You also will explore a variety of ways to gather information from both the child and other important adults in the child’s life. \nAt the close of this training\, you will have an individual plan for documenting and preserving memories in a way that honors the child’s past and present. \nCaregivers Register Here

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. \nCaregivers Register Here\n

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.

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
