Training Overview
Caregivers of youth involved in the criminal justice or child welfare systems often receive mandated services—like parenting groups—but those working on the front lines are rarely given the tools to evaluate whether these services are actually helpful or evidence-based.
This webinar focuses on the behavioral health needs of caregivers and how to support them effectively. (Did you know that one of the strongest predictors of whether a parent training program works is whether it includes direct, hands-on practice with the caregiver?)
Using real-world examples—from the fact that grandparents are now the largest group of foster parents in North America, to therapies like PCIT designed specifically for abusive or neglectful caregivers—this session offers practical strategies, tools, and insights for providers working with families across child welfare and juvenile justice systems.
