The first presentation will cover the complexities that children in the foster and kinship care systems present with from both a developmental and mental health perspective, help simplify understanding the clinical information that the children have, and then help foster parents and kinship parents understand the “next steps”. Clinical case material will be used to “practice” using the tools that facilitate understanding.
