Alliance for Child Welfare Excellence
New courses
“Raising Your Relative: Navigating Change in Family Dynamics” and “Raising Your Relative: Supporting the Child in Your Care": Caregivers for a relative child or children face unique circumstances when it comes to relationships and family dynamics. Two new Alliance courses, “Raising Your Relative: Navigating Change in Family Dynamics” and “Raising Your Relative: Supporting the Child in Your Care,” will help you work through the impacts of this change and share skills for managing it.
The courses each deal with different parts of the relative caregiver experience. You will explore changing adult relationships and learn solutions-focused communication skills in one, while the other focuses more on understanding the feelings of the child(ren) in your care and how to best support them, as well as yourself. Both trainings give an overview of resources that will help everyone involved.
