CSEC: Advanced Training for Caregivers (MODULE 4)

WestCoast Children's Clinic

We are excited to offer the CSEC Advanced Caregiver training for all California county caregivers.

Course Description:Commercially sexually exploited children and youth present with a unique set of needs, requiring a comprehensive approach to engagement and support. The Advanced CSEC Caregiver training will provide an advanced and comprehensive curriculum on best practices for supporting and parenting youth that are commercially sexually exploited. In this 16-hour training, we will build on the skills and concepts learned in previous introduction to commercial sexual exploitation trainings, including but not limited to: an exploration of common dynamics when caring for and supporting commercially exploited youth and how these dynamics impact parenting/caretaking and caregivers. We will also discuss how the trauma of exploitation impacts the behavior, health, help-seeking, general engagement, and healing of youth who have been exploited, as well as a consideration of the role of substance in exploitation and trauma. Finally, we will spend significant time exploring and practicing helpful engagement frameworks including: trauma reenactments, the stages (cycle) of change, motivational interviewing techniques and trauma-informed care.This course is for “in home caregivers” or caregivers in an “in home setting”.
