Training Description

With a growing awareness of generational trauma, there’s a growing awareness that many parents of system-involved youth have experienced their own trauma. These unhealed wounds can pop up at unexpected times and can make parenting more difficult. This training will provide an overview of trauma triggers that can arise in parents of system-involved youth and strategies to address them.

Learning Objectives
