SUMMARY:Understanding and Supporting the Needs of Children in Foster Care: Guidance for Secondary Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:January 30th from 12:00 – 1:00 PM ET on Zoom \nYou are invited to join us as we kick off our 2026 Barker professional training series with this FREE one-hour lunch and learn webinar.   Please use the link below to register and share with your networks. This webinar will earn you 1 CAT II CEU and will be a helpful resource to those working with foster and adoptive parents as they work to build their support systems. \nAbout this webinar:\nEvery parent benefits from a strong support network—especially families adopting older children or children with a history of trauma. While friends and family are often eager to help with respite or childcare\, they may feel uncertain about what to expect or how to respond to a child’s unique needs. This training provides a foundational understanding of trauma and its impact on children\, along with simple\, practical strategies for short-term care as a secondary caregiver. Participants will leave feeling more confident\, prepared\, and equipped to support their loved ones as they build their families through adoption. \nThis training will be led by a team of experienced Barker clinicians\, including Adoption-Competent Therapist Elana Lindner\, Adoption Placement and Clinical Manager Marilyn Rippetoe\, and Director of Adoption Programs Saara McEachnie. \nLocation: Virtual event \nDate and time: Fri\, Jan 30\, 2026 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nOrganizer: The Barker Adoption Foundation\, (301) 664-9664\, vdownes@barkerfoundation.org \nSign up for this FREE CEU webinar
