Description

For children adopted from birth or those who have experienced multiple foster care placements - their internal world is highly complex and ambiguous, from a child who remains with their family of origin. The foster and adoptive experience is considered adverse and traumatic.

By the time they are adults, they have endured separation from their birth family, adapted to a new family, grappled with fears and fantasies, questioned their identity, and need support navigating the lifelong search for self, “who am I and where do I belong?” If their “inner world” is left unacknowledged, this can cause lasting emotional, psychological, and behavioral issues.

View Jeanette Yoffe, child therapist who specializes in adoption and foster care derived from her own experience of being adopted and moving through the foster care system, as we delve into the “internal world” of adopted and foster care kids.

In this training you’ll familiarize yourself with new and imaginative ways for working with traumatized children and their families by utilizing Interventions to facilitate attachment, bonding and building strong families. Learn how to foster engagement and connection with the children you work with and gain unique strategies to help kids express anger, regulate affect, manage grief and loss...and assist kids in creating a new narrative to reorganize their internal world.
