*If you have recently become licensed as a foster parent and took NTDC training, you have already taken this training. You cannot take it again for training credit.
Descriptions:
NTDC: Impact of Substance Abuse – Participants will gain an understanding about the short and long-term impact on children exposed to substances prenatally including FASD*; recognize issues that may be present if parents use(d) substances; and become aware of medical issues that can arise due to substance exposure including higher risk of later addiction. Participants will also gain an understanding about the genetic component of addiction and addiction as a chronic disease and become aware of parenting strategies for children exposed to substances prenatally.
NTDC: Mental Health Considerations – Participants will learn how to have a basic understanding of mental health disorders and conditions that commonly occur in childhood; recognize that not all ‘survival’ behaviors or symptoms of grief are connected with mental health disorders; gain knowledge about commonly administered psychotropic medications; and gain knowledge on how to obtain consistent, adequate and appropriate access to mental health services.
**This qualifies for Group Credit through HHS (like in-person classes)
***Note: If you are registering two people, you will need to register each person individually with separate emails. You need to be interactive in this virtual training like you would an in-person training. If your children need supervision, we suggest having other supervision for children so you can actively participate in this training as you would an in-person training.
