Many children in foster care show a range of challenging behaviour. When foster carers look after these children, they are taking certain risks with their own health, which can include “secondary traumatic stress”. This training course gives carers the knowledge they need to recognise stress disorders, to help prevent them and to get the right treatment to assess and manage risk and to work as part of a team to provide safe caring.
