Building upon the invaluable insights shared in our previous webinar, we are excited to present Part 2, delving deeper into the complexities of identifying and maintaining stable placements for children and youth with challenging behaviors. In this session, we will explore advanced strategies and nuanced approaches for adoption professionals facing these significant challenges. A panel of experts will explore common challenging behaviors, such as substance misuse, running away, and physical aggression and discuss practical strategies for equipping prospective foster and adoptive parents with the knowledge and tools needed for effective support.
