Positive Adoption Language: Part 1
April 6, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm EDT
Positive Adoption Language: Part 1 will discuss the power and impact of words and terminology related to adoption and foster care. This training will provide strategies to help parents reword common terms and misconceptions into positive language that is unique to foster care and adoption, such as working with birth families, facing diversity and society’s response to adoption.
After completing this training, participants will be able to:
- Articulate positive language when discussing foster care, adoption, and related concepts.
- Utilize strategies to incorporate new positive language when dealing with society’s response to adoption within the community and in their homes.
