Training Description
This training equips resource families and foster parents with essential knowledge and skills to foster healthy relationships and secure attachments with system-involved youth (SIY) in their care. By exploring attachment theory, different attachment styles, and the concepts of pro-dependency and codependency, caregivers can better support SIY with trauma histories while maintaining their own well-being. By focusing on attachment and adopting a pro-dependency mindset, caregivers can help youth thrive emotionally and relationally, even after experiencing adversity.
Learning Objectives
Identify the four main attachment styles and explain their relevance in relationships between caregivers and system-involved youth.
Explain three main concepts between codependency and pro-dependency in the context of attachment.
