SUMMARY:Webinar:  EPAC presents: Best Practices When Advocating for Youth Facing School Discipline
DESCRIPTION:The training “Best Practices When Advocating for Youth Facing School Discipline” addresses the disproportionate impact of disciplinary actions on youth in foster care\, who historically face 3-4 times as many consequences as their peers. This frequent disciplinary action often leads to academic setbacks\, including lower grades\, increased absenteeism\, and a higher likelihood of dropping out. The training emphasizes the importance of understanding and leveraging laws and educational rights to advocate effectively for these youth\, ensuring caregivers and providers are empowered to support the students. The ultimate goal is to keep youth connected to their education\, even when behavioral issues arise\, to prevent further academic decline and promote long-term success. \nPresented by: Josette Franklin \nEducational Programming\, Assessment and Consultation

SUMMARY:Virtual Regional Training: Identity Formations in Adoption
DESCRIPTION:Having a healthy identity is critical for children and young adults in their overall growth and development\, it is even more important for adoptees. \nIdentity formation for adoptees is a complex process that involves reflecting on their adoption experience and integrating it into a personal narrative. Adoptees must consider what being adopted means to them within their family’s sociocultural context and answer the question “who am I?” in relation to different aspects of life. \nThis process can be complicated because adoptees may not have easy access to information or people who can answer their questions. It is essential that parents\, adults and caretakers realize and recognize these unique challenges. \nPresented by: \nLiz Gallaspy\, LMSW TAC Trainer/Coordinator \nCWTC/PE Instructional Coordinator
