All of these trainings are offered with foster parents, child welfare social workers, and those working with children in the foster care system or children who are at-risk in mind as the target audience, but would be valuable to anyone and are open for all to attend. Recordings of trainings are not guaranteed – as each speaker has different preferences. You are encouraged to register even if you are unsure if you will be able to attend so that you will be informed if a recording of the training is made available (frequently, speaker agreements specify that recordings can only be made available to registered attendees and not posted publicly). To stay up to date on what trainings are being offered, follow our EventBrite page to receive information as soon as registration becomes available for each training.
