Do you provide direct or indirect support to parents or caregivers of youth in foster care? Are you interested in learning more about a free, online training to help parents and caregivers feel more comfortable and prepared to talk with youth in care about relationships and healthy sexuality?
The Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB), Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Program and the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) at the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), invite you to join this webinar to learn about Healthy Sexuality for Youth in Foster Care: An Online Training for Parents and Caregivers of Youth in Foster Care, developed in partnership with Mathematica and dfusion, Inc. The free, three-hour online training was created to help parents and caregivers of youth in foster care ages 10 and older learn about topics related to adolescent sexual health and strengthen their communication skills.
State agencies and other organizations serving parents and caregivers of youth in foster care can offer the training to parents and caregivers as a required or recommended training for foster parent licenses or just for their personal development.
The presenters will share background information on the development of the online training, provide a brief overview of the course, and help participants understand how it can benefit parents and caregivers of youth in foster care.
