Working with foster youth can be challenging given the generational patterns of trauma, poverty, incarceration, etc. So, it’s essential for providers to understand generational trauma and how to work with foster youth from a generational perspective. Providers will learn strategies to support youth with generational patterns of trauma within their families.

The training will be co-facilitated by Nola Brantley and Nicole Klasey, Psy.D.

This training is made possible in collaboration between Early Intervention Services, UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland and Chabot-Las Positas Community College District and Alameda County Social Services Agency through Title IV-E funding. Alameda County providers will be given first preference due to the funding source. The cost of the training is FREE. But there is an administrative fee of $30.00 charged for those who wish to earn Continuing Education credits. The CE payment due on site via check only; credit cards and cash are not accepted.
