Continuing Education

A Home Within is committed to providing the highest quality training, support, and continuing education to volunteer therapists, prospective volunteers, and community stakeholders concerned with the holistic care of those impacted by foster care. We provide continuing education events grounded in contemporary research, social justice, local and national foster care policies, and clinical interventions pursuant to the regulations of our sponsoring bodies.

What Makes Our Continuing Education Program Different?

All trainings are committed to exploring how the social determinants of health influence poor mental health outcomes for system-involved youth, their families, and communities. We welcome a sustained dialogue on these issues in our trainings to lift up collective resources, expertise, and narrations of hope from our members.

To learn more about contributing to our community of learning, contact us at admin@ahomewithin.org.

Our continuing education events are free, and registration is available up until 24 hours prior to the start of the event. There is no penalty for cancellations. Content level is suitable for working mental health professionals with advanced degrees. There are no breaks during the programs.

Live webinars are interactive.
