Training Description
The training workshop will take a developmental approach, focusing on the various emotional and physical boundaries that inevitably arise with working with youth and children in foster care, and systems-involved youth. This training will also utilize case vignettes and small group sharing to dig deep into the various counter-transference experiences we may face when working with youth in foster care. It will also cover how counter-transference may impact the assessments we do and interventions we use.
Learning Objective
Participants will be able to identify situations where they may encounter a foster youth testing the participants’ emotional, physical, or professional boundaries (skill building)
Participants will apply and practice strategies (via role plays) to respond to foster youth who are testing various professional boundary scenarios (skill building)
