Description: Getting children to bed on time, asleep, and staying there is one of the most common challenges parents face. Foster children can have sleep issues related to trauma, like night terrors, insomnia, and trauma triggers. This workshop offers creative ideas and practical solutions to the Top Ten Bedtime Hassles.

The Foster-Adoptive Parents Toolshop® training series is a comprehensive 30+ hour evidence-based, trauma informed parenting curriculum for foster and kinship caregivers and adoptive parents. The entire series will be offered over the next 8 months, September 2022, June 2023 and will be taught by the curriculum’s author Jody Johnston Pawel, LSW, CFLE, CTSS.

While each individual workshop is valuable as a stand-alone workshop, when combined they create a parenting system called The Universal Blueprint® for Parenting Success. You can use this universal system to prevent common parenting challenges and plan personalized responses and solutions to those that arise, based on the child, circumstance, and family involved. The series offers an overview of the system and its tools, plus the in-depth workshops in order, so they build on each other.

Don’t worry if you can’t take them all, you can take one, some or as many as you wish! The Series will be offered on the 2nd and 4th Mondays from September 2022 to June 2023 from 3-6pm. Please note there are some 2- part trainings. You must attend both sessions to get credit.
