This training addresses caregiver requirements to safeguard the needs, issues, and concerns of a young person’s healthy sexual development, reproductive rights. It also includes an overview of contraception, discussion on gender, particular concerns for youth identifying as LGBTQ+ and the need for cultural awareness and understanding.
Caring for youth who have been commercially sexually exploited requires a trauma-informed, survivor-centered approach grounded in empathy, safety, and trust. This specialized training equips caregivers with the tools to understand the complex dynamics of CSEC, including grooming, trauma bonding, and the impact of exploitation on a young person’s development and behavior.

The class will introduce concrete techniques, and special attention will be given to helping caregivers distinguish between behaviors that require discipline and behaviors that reflect trauma, developmental needs, or emotional dysregulation.
Participants will leave with practical strategies for protecting their own well-being while continuing to provide the love, connection, and stability children and youth need.
Join us for an in-person meeting and discussion. We will explore the many faces of grief and loss in foster and kinship care, how grief can influence emotions, relationships, and behavior, and ways caregivers can care for themselves while remaining emotionally present for the children and families they love.
