Foster Care Training Today

Hello!

I am Sharon Dunlevy

Foster Care Educational Advocate and Trainer

I help foster parents empower the children in their care to self-regulate, develop healthy relationships, and do well in school through trauma-avoidant, anti-isolation parenting techniques!

Are Your Licensed Foster Parents:

Struggling with the behavior and emotions of the children in their homes?
Feeling unable to advocate for the educational needs of the children in their homes?
Worrying about their children not being ready to live on their own when they age out of care?
Sacrificing their mental and physical health while caring for everyone else?
Getting tired of trainings that are repetitive and do not provide practical ways of implementing changes in their homes?

My Trainings Will Empower Foster Parents To:

Build positive, life-long relationships with the children in their homes!
Effectively advocate for the educational needs of the children in their homes!
See the children in their care grow into self-regulated, mature young adults ready to live on their own!
Maintain their mental and physical health while caring for others!
Learn new, practical, up-to-date skills and information with each training!

At my agency, we host support groups for resource parents and have invited Ms. Dunlevy to speak to our group on multiple occasions. I always find Ms. Dunlevy to be an excellent presenter, that is able to answer all questions asked and delivered the course in an interesting format.

Ambassadors of Hope

Courtney Hunt, Founder and CEO

Sharon is one of the best trainers I use. She can break complex topics down so that they are understandable to my foster families, but also detailed enough that my clinical and licensing staff also benefit. She is approachable and makes being an active participant non-threatening.

Adult and Child Therapeutic Foster Care

Lynn Farmer, Outreach and Development

Positive Behavior Supports
