A Step Further curriculum is firmly rooted in research related to the impact trauma and loss has on the brain and how implementing therapeutic, enrichment, and educational activities can impact brain development and help to heal the parts of the brain which have been poorly developed or damaged because of child trauma.

The workshop focuses on:
•Assisting parents in understanding attachment milestones.
•Supports parents in implementing simple relationship building strategies.
•Gives parents tools to improve a child’s ability to form trusting relationships.
•Improves parents ability to connect with their child
•Helps parents understand how past traumas effect a child’s relationship ability.

Right Turn recognizes the enormity of the situations for families parenting children with extensive trauma histories. We are committed to providing a well rounded support to truly improve the quality of life, not just provide crisis management for the situation.

6 CEUs Available

Lunch is also provided.

Become a Foster Parent

There is an ongoing need in Nebraska for families willing to share their hearts and their homes with children who require temporary foster care. There is also a need for “forever” families for our waiting children, especially teens, who are available for adoption.
