Supporting the People Who Support Foster & Adoptive Families.
Training and speaking for agencies, caseworkers, and child welfare professionals — grounded in clinical expertise and lived experience.
The Professionals Supporting Foster and Adoptive Families Carry an Enormous Amount
Professionals Experience:
Clinical complexity
Systemic pressure
The emotional weight of the work itself.
Jen brings both trauma-informed clinical training and personal experience as a foster and adoptive parent into every training, giving your team language and tools that hold up in the field, not just on paper.
Jen isn't only a licensed clinical social worker with specialized foster/adoptive competent training — she's also navigated the system herself as a parent. That combination means she can speak to caseworkers and agency staff with real credibility about what families are actually experiencing, and help your team build the skills to support them well.
Clinical Expertise. Lived Experience. Credibility on Both Sides of the Table.
Training and speaking topics customized to your team's specific needs
Topics May Include But Not Limited To:
Trauma-informed care and attachment for caseworkers and agency staff
