Whether it’s Thanksgiving, Hanukkah or Christmas, any holiday can be difficult for children in care. This training will help you prepare foster and adoptive children for the holidays, include their religions and traditions, and facilitate their connections to parents, siblings, and extended family. The class covers conversations with relatives about how to respect and welcome children in care into celebrations and while respecting their confidentiality, mental health, and behavioral needs. The training will set realistic expectations and discuss specific strategies for dealing with food, gifts, decorations, and other customs that are part of festivities.
