Nurturing Conversations with Children about Race

Nurturing Conversations with Children about Race focuses on supporting both kinship caregivers and licensed foster parents to practice new skills, and to increase their confidence with conversations about race. This training builds on what's learned in Parenting in Racially and Culturally Diverse Families. In this class, you will continue to explore how to create an environment where conversations about race become a normal part of home life, both proactive (you start the conversation) and responsive (when a child comes to you for support around racism). The training will also cover resources for ongoing learning about the child's home culture. You will have two opportunities to practice conversations with a child. After the training, further support is available from the Alliance, including topic support groups and mentoring from experienced caregivers.
