Loss and grief among foster and adopted children.
This workshop addresses the unique losses
experienced by children in foster care and
adoption, and will include factors that influence
children’s reaction to loss, the four psychological
tasks of grief work, and healing therapies for
children and teens.
What are the critical aspects of loss in foster
care and adoption?
How are children impacted by these losses?
How can professionals work with parents to
understand how their children are experiencing
the ambiguities of foster care and adoption?
What are the signs that loss is creating behaviors
that may spiral out of control?
What are some effective interventions for
opening communication with children and
strengthening transitions and attachment to
new families?
In partnership with the California Department of Social
Services Sacramento District office, this workshop is a
part of the project for Older Youth Permanency.

Hi, it's Snoskred here. I've recently become a blogging chick and have set myself a challenge to comment on as many Blogging Chick blogs as I can. So that's why I'm here. ;)
I saw something on the View recently about foster children who are bounced from one home to another, there's a lot of them in the US who that happens to. It's sad that so many kids never get to experience the stability of knowing home will still be home tomorrow, next week, and a few months from now.
