What it is
Training to Strengthen Partnership Between Parents
Beginning with the importance of relationship building, TFTC helps caregivers utilize interventions to help shape new behaviors while supporting youth on their healing journey. Based on research as well as real-world practice, TFTC teaches positive parenting skills while focusing on issues of individual identity, transition to adulthood, family communication, and self-care.
Together Facing The Challenge Session Topics Include:
- Impactful Relationships: A trauma-informed approach to building connections
- The Power of Language: How words can impact a youth’s success
- Preventing, Escaping, and Rebuilding: A deep dive into power struggles
- Impactful Behavior Management: A trauma-informed approach to effective consequences
- Embracing Diversity: An individual approach to culture and identity
- Journey to Interdependence: Building skills to last a lifetime
- Tools for Family Success: A deep dive into family connection and self-care
The Together Facing the Challenge treatment model can support both new and existing agencies, and while the program is rooted in Treatment Foster Care, itʼs applicable to those serving youth in foster care, residential treatment, and outpatient services — and these practices are just as effective at strengthening forever families.
How it works
