I am a MSW grad student and am also a child protective service worker in Oregon. I am researching the different advanced trainings that states are offering foster parents regarding behavioral management techniques....any ideas/models or program information would be very much appreciated!!

I just completed a training of the trainers for permanency with teens, which does not address the behaviors psecifically, but which I think will help with a lot of behaviors indirectly. The training is being offered through the National Child Welfare Resource Center for Youth Development in Oklahoma. By including teens in their own plans, I think foster parents will get a lot more buy-in from them, foster parents' understanding of how teens feel and why they act the way they do will increase and rebellious behaviors will decrease.
