SP013H Introduction to Multicultural Traditions for Care Professionals Working with System-Involved Youth 4 CEUs TIVE07-202680

Training Summary: System-involved youth are navigating a maze of cultures: kinship placements, residential facilities, foster care, and the ins and outs of the system itself, often without any roadmap. This training explores how clothing, food, song, scent, and ritual can be powerful anchors of meaning for youth who have lived through disconnection, grief, and fractured relationships. Participants will consider how family and cultural traditions can shape identity, soothe trauma, and support belonging, even when those traditions are unfamiliar or overlapping. With decades of experience in multicultural grief and trauma care, Shoshana Phoenixx guides participants through the complex work of honoring culture in practical, sensory, and deeply human ways, without relying on checklists or assumptions. This training offers tools for noticing, asking, and integrating so youth don’t have to leave their history behind to get the help they need.
