SUMMARY:Fostering and Adopting At-Risk Children
DESCRIPTION:Fostering & Adopting At-Risk Children explores categories of at-risk behaviors among children and adolescents that may lead to negative consequences\, like poor health\, injury or death. It assists foster/adoptive parents with identifying as-risk behaviors and offers strategies to help address them. \nAfter completing this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify types of “at-risk” behaviors in youth.\nDiscuss strategies to problem solve “at–risk” behaviors to stabilize a child’s placement.\n\nASK-VIP trainings are expressly designed to meet the needs of foster and adoptive parents. Skilled trainers who have lived experiences with fostering and adoption provide these trainings in a virtual group setting. There is 1.5 hours of ongoing\, elective foster parent training credit available for Kentucky’s foster parents. \nCreate an account or log-in to register for this training. A reliable internet connection and a smartphone\, tablet\, or computer with web camera is needed to participate. If there are two adults in the same household that want to participate in this training\, each person must register separately.
