Reply to "Foster/Adoptive Parent Education Programs"

Hi Elaine,

The Wisconsin Trauma Project developed an 8 week workshop from the National Childhood Traumatic Stress Network's (NCTSN) Trauma Informed Parenting workshop to help adults understand the impacts of trauma on children's brains, bodies, and behaviors. This curriculum was designed for biological parents, adoptive or foster parents, kinship caregivers, social workers, and community members to partner and understand how to support a child who has experienced trauma. It is a powerful workshop that allows participants to better understand the child and reflect on their own experiences with trauma. Participants are also given the chance to build community and support with one another.

For more information and to access the curriculum materials please visit https://dcf.wisconsin.gov/cwportal/prevention/trauma and click on Strengthening Families and Systems: Building Positive Experiences with Children who have Experienced Trauma at the bottom of the page.
