(A training series developed by Dr. Joseph Crumbley for Kinship Caregivers) Instructors: Heidi Blue, MSW Description: The Inherent Strengths in Kinship Families is a strength-based training series developed by Dr. Joseph Crumbley for kinship caregivers. Each standalone workshop explores a topic unique to kinship families, such as attachment, legacy, identity, healing, adaptability, and co-parenting, and provides practical strategies to support children and strengthen family resilience. Attachment: This session describes the unique characteristics and strengths of attachments between kinship caregivers and their children. Approaches are provided to enhance their attachments as well. Participants will learn to define attachment, types, and the impact of attachment; as well as explain the strengths and advantages of attachments in kinship families and recognize capacities, levels, and degrees of attachment.
