Description
This trainer’s manual is “designed to give the trainer all the materials needed to conduct the Introduction to Independent Living in Foster Care workshop” and for use in conjunction with the participants’ workbook described above. In addition, the trainer is given the opportunity to evaluate her/his own training skills. The same five sections are examined: defining independent living, identifying and using teaching moments, assessing young people with a focus on their strengths as well as their needs, understanding adolescent stages and characteristics and their importance, and helping youth to make decisions with the use of an 8-step decision making process.
