Trauma-Informed Training for Foster Families
Ep. 4 This week on Licensed to Love, we’re breaking down the heart of the initial fostering process: the training, preparation, and ongoing support that Families Thrive gives every family who says “yes.” 💛
Director of Program Services Veronica Black sits down with Michelle Hinds, a seasoned home finder and trainer, to walk you through the 10-week trauma-informed course that equips families to understand the emotional and developmental needs of children in care. From navigating trauma to building confidence as a caregiver, this training is designed to prepare you for the real-life moments you’ll face — not just the paperwork.
You’ll also get an inside look at the support that continues after licensing:
🏡 Regular in-home visits
🧡 One-on-one guidance tailored to your family’s needs
👥 Support groups and community resources
📅 Flexible training schedules for busy parents
🤝 A team that stays with you, every step of the way
Chapters:
0:00 Introduction
3:44 Training Foster Parents to Handle Trauma-Experienced Children
6:01 Background Checks and Support Systems
11:16 Flexible Foster Parent Training and Support Initiatives
15:49 The Joys and Challenges of Fostering Children
19:32 Supporting Foster Families Through Personal Experience
