Training Description

Foster and/or System Involved Youth who live in and out of home care not only bear the burden of their difficult family circumstances, but they also experience the weight of being subjected to biases that existed long before they entered this world. This interactive training is for professionals and caregivers of youth in the foster care system and/or justice system. Participants will learn the importance of recognizing how their life experiences and position of power can influence how they communicate with the young people on the autism spectrum that they serve/support. 

Learning Objective

• Participants will be able to identify 3 strategies as they commit to the task of dismantling stigma while providing empowering care to system involved youth

• Participants will be able to identify at least 2 ways their lens frames the way they communicate with system involved youth and their families.
