SUMMARY:Affirming a Youth's Whole Identity Training
DESCRIPTION:This required training will focus on how to support and affirm a youth who identifies as lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, queer\, questioning\, or another identity in the LGBTQ+ community in an adoptive\, pre-adoptive\, or relative/kinship home. This training will also include strategies to implement in your home to create a welcoming and inclusive space regardless of the youth’s sexuality. This training will count for Agency Specific Training in both the home study licensing process and for training hours to renew a foster care license.
