SUMMARY: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. \nRegister in advance

SUMMARY:Partners Make Better Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Partners Make Better Decisions brings together social workers and caregivers in a dynamic environment of dialogue\, small-group activities and scenario discussions. This course mimics the way the child welfare process works\, with many voices at the table\, with the goal of building understanding and relationships through finding commonality and mutual respect. \nBuilding partnerships and finding common ground with others is integral to achieving the best outcomes for children and families. When approaching decision making\, it is vital that you can work effectively with all parties involved\, and this training provides you the foundation for making that happen. \nYou will start the training by sharing and hearing from other participants about why they do the work they do\, likely finding many shared values. The training also will guide you through a conversation about communication and potential barriers and breakdown points\, with special consideration of the high stakes and complicated dynamics involved in this work. Finally\, you will learn some tools and strategies for working together and remaining focused on the “main thing\,” the interest of the child\, even when distractions or disagreements arise. \nWhen you leave the training\, you will have a new understanding of and appreciation for your partners on the child’s care team\, and a plan for communicating and working together. \nRegister in advance

SUMMARY: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. A big part of this training is understanding which forms you will receive and what they mean; what meetings\, appointments or hearings you need to be aware of; and who the key players are during this time. \nYou will leave the training with an understanding of what is expected during the first 30 days of a new placement. You also will know how to access resources when you have questions – you will probably have many\, but there is a great community of support available to you and the new child in your care. \nRegister in advance

SUMMARY: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. \nRegister in advance
