Trauma Informed Care: Be an Advocate for Youth (in person in Spokane, Excelsior Wellness Campus)
See attached flyer! July 7, 11:30 to 02:00p
Cultural Care & Connections
This presentation addresses the need to keep children connected to their culture of origin when living or working with a youth while in foster care, kinship or adoption. It covers the importance of supporting differences with a child of a different race or culture, providing insight on how attendees can recognize different values, beliefs, behaviors, communication variations and potential barriers or bias within themselves and youth. Ideas on how to do this are discussed, along with resources.
Facilitated by Zia Freeman, MA, LMHC Community Educator with Coordinated Care
