Description

This 4 credit course is created for the clinician who works with foster /adoptive families. Foster /adoptive families provide care to vulnerable children whose world view is often that they can trust no one. These children often also come with a complex trauma history. This can be both an exhausting and inspiring parenting journey. A clinician can support the process or undermine the process if they do not anticipate the triangulation that often occurs as a self care strategy. The course will then review the 4 S’s which is a trauma focused parenting model. Participants are encouraged to purchase the book : Adopting a Child with a Trauma and Attachment Disruption History: A Practical Guide Paperback – Nov 1 2011 (https://www.amazon.ca/Adopting-Trauma-Attachment-Disruption-History/dp/1615991301/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=adopting+a+child+with+a+trauma+and+attachment+disruption&qid=1567018150&s=gateway&sr=8-1)
