This project will train foster and adoptive parents to prevent or remediate adverse childhood experiences of foster care children, ages 0-3, who are at a significantly higher risk for long-term health and mental health problems. The project will pilot and evaluate innovative multi-modal training content for foster and adoptive parents within the existing Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ mandatory adoptive and foster parent training system, preparing caregivers to respond constructively to the developmental and social-emotional health needs of infants and toddlers.
