Description: 

During this interactive webinar, the presenters will describe The Healing Nature of Relationships©. This training program creates a cross-team approach to care and provides a solid foundation in the basics of child and personality development, psychopathology and systems theory.

Helping vulnerable children and teenagers heal from tragic pasts is difficult and challenging work that demands patience, skill, knowledge, resilience, and willingness to work together across various disciplines. Yet the perspective and language of child care workers can be very different from the perspective and language of clinical staff. The Healing Nature of Relationships© bridges these differences by creating a common language and fostering a true relationship-based team environment dedicated to meeting these youngsters’ needs.   

This curriculum was designed by staff at Children’s Aid and Family Services to provide affordable training to those that work with severely traumatized children and adolescents in community-based therapeutic settings. This new training program is being offered to Alliance members at a specially discounted rate.
