This 12 credit course provides the counselling clinician and play therapist with the healing structure of life story work for children who are or have been in the foster care system.
This 4 credit course is created for the clinician who works with foster /adoptive families. Foster /adoptive families provide care to vulnerable children whose world view is often that they can trust no one. These children often also come with a complex trauma history. This can be both an exhausting and inspiring parenting journey. A clinician can support the process or undermine the process if they do not anticipate the triangulation that often occurs as a self care strategy. The course will then review the 4 S's which is a trauma focused parenting model. Participants are encouraged to purchase the book : Adopting a Child with a Trauma and Attachment Disruption History: A Practical Guide Paperback – Nov 1 2011 (https://www.amazon.ca/Adopting-Trauma-Attachment-Disruption-History/dp/1615991301/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=adopting+a+child+with+a+trauma+and+attachment+disruption&qid=1567018150&s=gateway&sr=8-1)
