Preparing for Adulthood

From the catalogue of the National Training and Development Curriculum (NTDC) Right Time Training, this theme provides an overview of the common skills that youth will need to effectively navigate as an adult and provide strategies on how families who are fostering or adopting can prepare youth to successfully transition into adulthood. The theme highlights the variance that can exist between chronological and developmental age for children who have experienced trauma, separation and loss and how this can impact the transition to adulthood. Some of the challenges that youth may face during this transition are highlighted. To register, call 314.968.2350 ext. 7234 or email intake.dept@familyforwardmo.org.
