LEARN ·2024 Grants ChallengeMitigating Trauma in Fostering Families
Young children in the foster care system have experienced trauma (the very act of entering the system imposes trauma), which can result in their exhibiting challenging behaviors to which caregivers may respond inappropriately – imposing even more trauma rather than helping the child overcome existing pain. Unfortunately, most foster parents are not trained to support a trauma-impacted child. Trauma Informed Care (TIC) training is an essential step in increasing our communities’ resiliency with respect to trauma and lessening its impacts.
