Missed the first Introduction to Fostering Culture & Soil of GRIT™ session?
You still have two opportunities to attend this foundational training for child welfare and youth-serving professionals.
This session introduces a culturally grounded, healing-centered approach to understanding youth behavior, identity, belonging, and resilience through the Soil of GRIT™ Framework.
If you work with youth who are often misunderstood, over-disciplined, or disengaged, this session will help you:
> Understand how culture shapes identity, safety, and engagement
> Recognize how cultural disruption impacts placement stability and behavior
> Apply Hope, Agency, Purpose, & Healing as practice foundations, not abstract concepts
> Shift from deficit-based interpretations toward culturally responsive support
Upcoming session options:
📅 February 3, 2026 | 12:00–1:00 PM EST
📅 February 12, 2026 | 2:00–3:00 PM EST
Both sessions are virtual and open to individual practitioners and teams.
