Transition plans are a critical step in helping children build trust, attach, and ultimately heal. How a child leaves a situation affects the way he enters the next. If we don’t give them what they need now, it will come out in the future. This training session will explain the what, why, and how of transition plans. This training is designed for foster and adoptive parents or any out-of-home caregiver who is transitioning a child into or out of their home. This session is beneficial for any staff in the decision-making role of moving children or those supporting families that care for youth in transition: intake and placement, case management, licensing workers, guardian ad litems, attorney and leadership.
