SUMMARY:Trauma-Informed Care for Kinship/Grandfamilies
DESCRIPTION:Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network \nThis webinar\, co-hosted by Network partner ZERO TO THREE\, will address how trauma can present in both kin caregivers and children in their care\, and how it impacts relational health. Explore practices associated with trauma-informed care to better support the kin caregivers you serve. Our presenter is Dr. Mike Sherman\, a licensed clinical psychologist and NAPA/UC Davis Infant-Parent Mental Health fellow. Dr. Sherman is an expert in infant and early childhood mental health and has presented internationally. For more than 15 years\, he has worked at the nexus of community mental health and child welfare programs\, including direct service provision\, supervision\, training\, consulting\, program development and administration. His work focuses on the integration of mental health in community and child welfare systems and the intersection of trauma- and relationally driven practice. \nThis webinar will be supplemented by two learning community sessions\, where you can take a deeper dive into this topic and participate in highly interactive conversations with your peers. One session\, led by Dr. Sherman\, will focus on trauma in children using a case study approach. The second session will focus on trauma in caregivers\, engaging a panel of kin caregivers\, facilitated by Network Subject Matter Expert Dr. Joseph Crumbley.
