I do agree that this kind of training is invaluable for both foster care parents and older foster care children. Six Seconds could send a team to do a training if DSS is interested in learning more. Find out more about our training programs at www.6seconds.org. Click on education and then train the trainer. Understanding the importance of EQ would help teenage foster children immensely to become advocates for themselves and to be able to ask for help when services run out at age 18. An absolute crime, as far as I am concerned. That is an outdated age; in today's culture, an 18 year-old is not an adult nor is he/she able to amke decisions like an adult. Thank you, dear sister, for your salient post. You do such wonderful work with the underserved youth of the world. I do admire you!!
