Training Title:
Retired ~ Foster Care, Part C, Grandparents Raising Grandchildren

Clock Hours: 1

Objectives:
• Be able to recognize the impact of grandparents raising grandchildren on the child. • Learn what happens when traumatized children perceive that the adult world is out of control.

Description:
Recent figures show 513,000 children were in foster care in the United States and as many as 5.4 million children living with grandparents. In this program we explore the issues of foster care and parental alternatives from a number of viewpoints, with a special emphasis on understanding attachment theory and trauma, which are both the backdrops and main features in work with this population. When grandparents take responsibility for their grandchildren, three relationship processes simultaneously occur: attachment disruptions; revised attachment relationships; and challenged internal working models of attachment. Dr. Poehlmann discusses this phenomenon through her research on children living with grandparents due to the incarceration of their mothers.
