SUMMARY:Virtual Regional Training: Anxiety
DESCRIPTION:Anxiety disorders are common in children (affecting 1 in 8)\, but studies have shown that childhood anxiety has almost doubled since 2020\, affecting at least 20% of children nationwide. For children in the foster care system\, anxiety disorders are even more prevalent and sometimes symptoms are misunderstood as defiance and opposition. Learning the signs and symptoms and being prepared with techniques to manage anxiety better will help bring more relief for you and your child. Growing resilience and strengthening coping skills will help them to face challenges with more confidence and ease. \nPresented by: Jenie Chritstopher\, LPC\, MC \n*Please complete the Pre test priot to attending the training.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Attachment Styles
DESCRIPTION:What is Attachment? An attachment is an emotional bond that we form with another person. Attachments are formed in childhood with our primary/first caregivers.

During this webinar\, attendees will not only learn about attachment theory\, but will also get an in depth understanding of the 4 attachment styles. Attendees will also learn strategies to strengthen and improve their attachment/bond with their child(ren) and others. \nPresented by: Natasha Hope-Moriarty\, LMSW

SUMMARY:Webinar: Healthy and Effective Ways To Helping Parents Facilitate Sibling Connection
DESCRIPTION:Sibling bonding is very important; however\, it doesn’t happen automatically with biological siblings\, foster or adoptive children. Approximately two-thirds of children in foster care in the United States have a sibling also in care which could potentially cause a child to feel alone or abandoned in their new home.  Feeling abandoned and alone may create a high level of hesitancy in a child\, making it difficult for them to create a connection with other children in a home.  With that being said\, it’s important for parents to understand that the process of bonding is the same whether it is bonding between biological siblings\, foster siblings\, foster parents and or other family members. \nIn addition\, being related by blood doesn’t mean a bond will automatically happen.  Sibling connections only take place with time and with parents being intentional about creating a safe\, nonjudgmental\, and loving environment.  This webinar will give parents effective tips on how to create a home that facilitates and promotes sibling connection.  The webinar will also give parents the pitfalls of not trusting the process and taking the microwave approach instead of the crock-pot approach. \nPresented by: Natasha LaMarr\, Ed.D\, LPC\, NCC

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Impact of Abuse on Child Development
DESCRIPTION:Trauma in early developmental stages has an impact on a child’s brain and cognitive development\, even increasing the risk for continued trauma down the road. We’ll discuss the impact trauma can have on brain/cognitive development\, social and emotional development as well as academic achievements and identify ways as a foster parent you can support these youth through education and continued skills training. Although it will take time\, research has shown that caregivers who are attentive to the needs of the child\, model positive relationships\, and are open to collaborating with other trauma-focused resources\, can help these children/youth overcome adversity and promote healthier and improved outcomes for children and their families. \nPresented by:  Jenie Christopher\, MS\, LPC
