National Child Traumatic Stress Network Training

The National Child Traumatic Stress Network is offering a training curriculum that is designed to be taught by a mental health professional
with foster parents as co-facilitators. The workshop materials include a Facilitator’s Guide, a Participant Handbook, and a Slide Kit.
Caring for Children Who Have Experienced Trauma: A Workshop for Resource Parents (2010) is funded by the Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Administration and the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. The program was created to educate resource
parents about the impact of trauma on the development and behavior of children in foster care and to provide them with the knowledge and skills
needed to help children develop coping strategies and healthy behaviors. To access these materials visit:
