Teenage foster placements can be intimidating. Through our time together in this course, we will address ways of parenting from a place of trauma-informed care and connectedness. This will cover building blocks of relationship building as well as co-regulation and appropriate ways to support your teen. Open dialog about specific challenges is encouraged.
