Virtual Classroom LearnLinc system Internet access, headphones, and microphone are required |
The disconnection of a child/youth from his/her past is frequently a result of placement and/or adoption produced by the severing of important connections that existed prior to placement, and by the failure to help the child/youth preserve his/her history as a part of his/her identity formation. Research has shown that failure to preserve a child/youth's connection to past history has a long-term effect on the child/youth's self-esteem, self-concept, and ability to form lasting attachments and relationships throughout his/her lifetime. This training will help staff and foster parents use the process of developing a LifeBook/LifePak with a youth as a way to produce a tangible product, while helping the youth explore future goals. | Contact cprevost@oco.org to register or for more information. |
