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.

There is a movement beginning in Florida to work with youth who are involved in the Juvenile Justice System as well as the Department of Children and Families. Within this population, there appears to be a common diagnosis of Disruptive Behavior Disorders. This workshop will address how to engage the youth who have been diagnosed with Disruptive Behavior Disorders and how to engage parents who have given up on the idea that anything can change. The families of these youth are often as defiant toward treatment methods as the youth are towards rules and regulations. The key to helping with these families is engaging them and building rapport as a bridge to them receiving a level of services they have not yet experienced. (1.0 hour)
