Shared Lives training is an orientation to foster care, designed to equip participants with the knowledge and tools to help them understand the complexities of caring for children affected by trauma. The training covers the key areas of developmental trauma and reparative parenting, exploding myths, helping children to feel safe, identity and culture, promoting positive behaviours, and being supported. The training will give participants the opportunity to reflect on their personal experiences in a positive and safe way to make an informed choice about whether caring is an appropriate role for them.
Course Duration: 2 days (online via Zoom)
At ac.care we continue to play our part in keeping the community safe by following the ac.care COVID safety protocols. In order to ensure, as best as possible, the safety and wellbeing of carers, children and staff at face to face training and events held on ac.care sites, we require everyone to adhere to the SA Health directions. This includes being full vaccinated against COVID 19, checking in via the QR code on arrival, the use of personal protective equipment, including masks (except where medical exemptions are in place), adhering to social distancing and using individualised training materials and resources provided by the trainers to minimize contact. There are some online alternatives for participating in training when face to face contact is not an option. If you have any questions, please contact our training team by emailing fcs-training@accare.org.au Please note that whilst most training can be delivered face to face or online, TCI-F crisis prevention and intervention training is unable to be delivered online and must be presented in person.
