Kinship Care Education
Welcome
A
s noted in our previous issue, Orange County Social Services Children and
Family Services adopted the Quality Parenting Initiative (QPI) to help guide
policy and practice within the entire foster care system. Orange County continues to work on its QPI goals and reach out to everyone with the motto “it’s not a job,
it’s a journey, and we are inviting you to take the journey with us!”
We recognize how fortunate we are to have such a dynamic community and county
partnership that continually finds innovative ways to meet the needs of kids in out-ofhome care. The Saddleback College Foster and Kinship Care Education Program is here
to serve you — thank you for your never-ending strength and commitment.
Mark your calendars for this year’s Annual College Fair being held on September
21, 2013 at Santa Ana College. This is a great opportunity to meet with college
representatives, learn from emancipated foster youth about the college experience,
explore educational and career paths, and obtain general post-high school information
about the many options available to youth.
Effective January 1, 2013, Assembly Bill 1856 requires caregivers to obtain
training on cultural competency and best practices for serving lesbian, gay, bisexual,
and transgender (LGBT) youth. To learn more about this, as well as the importance of
trauma-informed practice, refer to page 3 for full details. This licensing requirement
counts toward yearly training hours.
In this issue, allow us to highlight the Foster Care Auxiliary of Orange County, a
group of foster, adoptive, and relative caregivers who make a difference by connecting
and sharing resources that assist Orange County foster families with such significant
services as:
• Baby gear loan program
• Scholarships
• Computers for foster youth
• Thrift store
• Foster parent support and training opportunities
• In-store “Birthday Corner”
• Fun family events
• Program to support independent living
• Monthly “new item” distribution

LGBT youth have specific legal rights regarding gender identity and
expression at home and at school, along with the rights to be free of
harassment, discrimination, and attempts to change their sexual orientation. They also have the right to possess LGBT supportive materials and
to participate in age-appropriate activities such as LGBT youth groups.
Caregivers will learn about these rights and about current best practices
for ensuring safe and supportive homes for LGBT youth that will promote
placement stability and improve long-term outcomes for the youth.
Vicarious
Trauma
Holly A. Magana, Ph.D.
Rebeca Llaury-Juarez, L.C.S.W.
Secondary Traumatic Stress and Compassion Fatigue can happen
whenever one cares deeply about a traumatized person and feels
responsible to help. Foster parents are particularly vulnerable to
secondary traumatization because of the close caring relationship
they have with the foster children who bring painful memories
and wounds with them into their new homes.
Increasing awareness of secondary traumatization can help foster
parents to both take care of themselves and to be more effective
in helping children to heal. Participants will be able to identify
the warning signs of compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic
stress, as well as gain knowledge on specific self-care techniques
and coping strategies.

Opportunity drawing for youth
T
eens may confuse “having sex” with an innate
desire to belong, to be needed, and to “be loved.”
Without knowing its definition, they just want to be
cherished — we all do. Healthy love provides security, it’s
our sense of belonging, self-worth, it gives us value, and it
contributes to our happiness and the good feelings about
oneself. But making love doesn’t mean “I love you.”
Sadly, most babies born to foster youth find themselves
being raised in the same system.
Why is it that many teens in foster care — the same
ones who don’t like being in foster care — end up getting
pregnant? Pregnancy should be celebrated — and rightly
so — but what’s most unfortunate is that generally speaking, males can walk away from an unwanted pregnancy —
females can’t. Yes there are options, but the outcome, along
with all the responsibilities, memories, consequences, and
emotions of her decision are unfairly carried by the female
for the rest of her life.
Let’s reverse this trend!

Through the “Trauma”
Lens: Preparing Kids for the
Real World
Instructed by: Mike Dominic
Y
oung adults should be well equipped with the skills to be
successful at living independently. The greatest influence in
their lives, and contrary to what we may think, are parents
and caregivers rather than peers. All the years living at home provide
such a wonderful opportunity that shouldn’t be missed to nurture,
guide, and instill values and knowledge gleaned from an adult’s life
experiences. Besides love, what greater gift can youth receive than
the ability to be happy and successful at life?
Participants will learn:
• How to help children recognize they are brilliant for staying
connected to their parents
• Techniques parents can use immediately to regain control
of their home in loving ways
• Unconscious parenting = Trauma
• Building emotional attachment and developing respectful
interactions
• Why fear, anger, and punishment are destructive to
developmental maturity
• The language children cannot resist
• The parenting style children never outgrow

September 9 • Homework and the Child’s Future
Homework can be a real battle for parents and children. Come
learn a fresh approach to a child’s homework assignment, what
role the school plays, and how to identify your child’s strengths
and weaknesses. We will explore the link between homework and
adulthood successes.

well as explore the reasons why children misbehave. By practicing
disciplinary techniques, you will walk away from this workshop
with ready-to-use skills

life—but ideally, differences should be worked out with a positive
attitude and without violence. Develop skills on how to help your
children problem-solve their problems.
December 9 • Stress: How it Affects You and Your Child
Stress impacts the entire household, therefore, it is important to
identify signs of stress in order to take positive action. Eliminating
causes of stress may not be an option but, once recognized, you can
reduce and manage it to improve your family’s life. We will look
at causes of stress, the effects on your body and mind, and stress
reducing actions to take.
Meetings: 2nd Tuesday each month
6:00 - 9:00 p.m.

Lili Perez-Stroud - Lili is a graduate of CSU Fullerton and assisted with
the coordination of the FKCE and ILP programs at Cypress College. She was a
kinship caregiver for 4 years and experienced in raising teenagers. Lili brings

July 9 • The Truth About Bullying
This workshop will address the various forms of bullying which
include physical, emotional, verbal, cyber, and racial. Learn how
to monitor and protect children by understanding the signs and
symptoms of anger. In order to help your child, you have to learn
what is really fueling the anger.
August 13 • Supporting Cultural Ties
Culturally diverse children may feel excluded during events and
holidays, especially if they are living with a family that doesn’t
share similar customs or beliefs. Learn the importance of supporting the child’s family ties and how to accept and understand the
child’s culture, values, and beliefs. Parents will learn techniques
on helping to ease the pain of adjusting to a new environment.
September 10 • How to Manage Conflict
The pressure on today’s youth is enormous and they often struggle
to express their anger and frustration in an appropriate manner.
Parents will be able to assist children with developing the skills and
abilities needed to resolve or deal effectively with conflict.
October 8 • Stages of Grief
Learn the five stages of grief people experience following a serious
loss. Participants will understand why grief is a natural experience
and what one can do to ease the process. Grief manifests itself in
various forms and it behooves caregivers to recognize that children
affected by grief are actually mourning a loss.
November 12 • Is Your Child Safe in YOUR Home?
A child’s safety is every parent’s responsibility. Parents will learn
how to maintain a home environment that promotes a sense of
safety and well-being. Discussion will also include community
hazards that place children and adolescents at risk. This workshop
will teach participants accident prevention techniques to ensure the
child in their care is protected.
December 10 • Survive the Holiday Stress
Holidays are stressful enough to the average family but there are
more contributing factors when foster/kinship or adoptive families are involved. Participants will learn about possible behavior
changes they may expect to see in foster youth during the holidays.

or depression, seasonal trigger points, coping strategies, and stress
reducing tips.

in dealing with teenagers
July 2 • Common Sense Parenting
Participants will learn about technology such as cyberbullying and
sexting, and how pop culture sexualizes young children. Learn
about social cruelty among children—to take action, your child
should not feel uncomfortable talking to you if he/she is the target
of bullying.
August 6 • Anger Management
An infant’s hungry cry, a toddler’s temper tantrum, a preschooler’s
angry push, school- ager’s hurtful taunt, or a teenager’s hostility
are vivid reminders that anger is no stranger to childhood. Anger
is part of life, but will your child learn to cope in a manner that is
hurtful or helpful?
September 3 • How to Create Traditions and Rituals for Holidays and Every Day
Life isn’t as it once was so we need to invent new traditions for today’s families. Learn simple steps to help families cherish all those
special moments and milestones. Learn techniques to heal the
wounds of trauma and loss and strengthen that spirit of identity
within family.
October 1 • It’s Tough Being an Outsider
It is difficult to parent a child who has trouble “fitting in” or lacks
interest and meaning in things and people. Multiple out-of-home
placement translates into repeatedly losing everything that is
important or dear to a child. Follow your instincts and learn to
develop techniques for helping your child adjust to new situations,
school, and friends.
November 5 • Transitions
By working together to help children reunite with parents or
transition to adoptive families, children can grow up connecting
with lifelong, safe and nurturing relationships. Discussion will
focus on the profound impact that individuals or groups outside
the family have on a child’s well-being as advocates for meeting
the child’s needs.
Site Coordinator:
Arnette Edwards - Arnette has a Master’s Degree in Counseling, a
Bachelor’s Degree in Human Services, and is working toward her doctoral
degree. She assisted with FKCE and ILP programs at Cypress College. Arnette
was a kinship caregiver and has experience raising teenagers and working
with teen mothers.
July 3 • Anger Management
This workshop will provide information on signs and symptoms
of anger. We will look at implementing techniques to help manage and control “angry” feelings.
August 7 • Dealing with Grief and Loss
When struggling with a loss, adults may deal with depression,
stress, anxiety, anger, bereavement, and loneliness; however,
children also experience loss. How do you honor everyone’s feelings when a child “moves on”? The goal is a positive resolution
to grief for both the foster child and caregiver.
September 4 • Foster Families=Modern Families
In today’s era, placement of children through foster care is a real
testimony to “modern families” as children are raised in homes
that are ethnically, culturally, and socio-economically different
than their own. Let’s all be on board by learning how to accept
and respect societal differences for the well-being of all children
and their future.
October 2 • College 101
This workshop will assist parents in helping their teen attain a
higher education. The workshop will review application forms
and processes, financial aid options, critical deadlines, etc.
Caregivers should be knowledgeable about special opportunities
available to foster youth at community colleges.
November 6 • Positive Discipline
The focus will be on the effective means of discipline and understanding the social services agency’s policy toward discipline. Discussion will include how to meet extreme or unusual
behavioral challenges which may be demonstrated by children
in out-of-home care.
December 4 • Lying and Stealing
Why do youth lie and steal? Is it to fill a void in their life or a
need for immediate gratification? Learn the most effective ways
to address your child’s lying and stealing behavior.
December 3 • Help Children Deal with Traumatic Events
Children who lived through very traumatic events at an early
age may experience night terrors, bedwetting, etc. Upon recognizing the connection between sleep and behavior, parents can
implement measures to dramatically improve family life. Discussion includes resource options for emotional and psychological
trauma.

July 17 • Conflict Resolution
The pressure on today’s youth is enormous and they often
struggle to express their anger and frustrations appropriately.
Learn how to implement conflict resolution skills that are really
effective.
August 21 • It Takes a Village
We will explore the importance of supporting family connections
and family continuity (irrespective of outcome: long-term foster
care, adoption, guardianship) by learning how to keep everyone “connected.” This continuity is vital for development of the
child’s self-esteem, personal identity, and cultural identity.
September 18 • Domestic Violence/Emotional Effects
The focus of the discussion will be placed on current issues of
domestic violence and explore the emotional and behavioral
issues faced by children who experience, or are victims of, domestic violence.

Holly Magana, Service Chief for Orange County Health Care Agency
Rebeca Llaury-Juarez, Foster Youth Services for the Orange County
Department of Education
El ser padre de crianza trae consigo mucha satisfacción. A la vez
este rol puede ocasionar efectos secundarios a los padres de crianza
como es el agotamiento físico y emocional. El Estrés Traumático
Secundario suele presentarse cuando uno se preocupa profundamente por una persona que ha sufrido algún trauma y se siente
responsable de ayudar. Los padres de acogida son particularmente
vulnerables a estrés post traumático secundario debido a la cercana
y cariñosa relación que tienen con los niños en sus casas. Aumentar
el conocimiento del estres traumatico secundario puede ayudar
a los padres de crianza a cuidarse a si mismos así como a ser mas
efectivos al ayudar a sanar las heridas emociónales que traen los
niños.
