Abstract
This exploratory study evaluated the implementation and pandemic-inspired pivot to virtual delivery of an attachment-based, trauma-informed multi-session program, Connect for Kinship and Foster Parents (CKFP), from the perspective of caregivers of adolescents, across four sites within three provinces in Canada in 2020–2022. Data analysis identified three themes: 1. Experiencing community and connection, 2. Interactive, integrated, and informed learning, and 3. Accessibility and feasibility. While participating in CKFP, foster parents experienced connection with other caregivers and the facilitators and developed knowledge with respect to attachment and trauma, which aided in improved understanding of their teen. Caregivers also indicated that online delivery facilitated their participation. CKFP holds promise in addressing the need for specialized training for foster caregivers of adolescents.
