DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose developing and testing a series of online interactive multimedia training courses for caseworkers and mental health therapists on special issues relating to foster, adoptive, and kinship care. Providers in the child care system do not adequately understand the unique clinical characteristics of this population, nor how to provide treatment in a complex child care system. The courses are intended to help providers to better understand, diagnose, treat, and manage foster and adoptive children and to support the families who raise them. Providing these professionals with specialized training is a critical aspect of the overall reform process of the child care system. The proposed online training would dramatically improve practitioners' access to high quality and comprehensive training on these specialized topics. In Phase I, we will produce a course on Family Dynamics in Foster Care, Kinship Care, and Special Needs Adoption, the first of 12 courses. The course will be evaluated with a sample of caseworkers and mental health therapists, nationally.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议为个案工作者和心理健康治疗师开发和测试一系列在线互动多媒体培训课程，涉及与寄养、收养和亲属护理有关的特殊问题。儿童保育系统中的提供者没有充分了解该人群的独特临床特征，也没有充分了解如何在复杂的儿童保育系统中提供治疗。这些课程旨在帮助提供者更好地了解、诊断、治疗和管理寄养和收养儿童，并为抚养他们的家庭提供支持。为这些专业人员提供专门培训是儿童保育系统整体改革进程的一个关键方面。拟议的在线培训将极大地提高从业人员获得有关这些专业主题的高质量和全面培训的机会。在第一阶段，我们将制作一门关于寄养、亲属照顾和特殊需要收养中的家庭动态的课程，这是 12 门课程中的第一门。该课程将由全国案例工作者和心理健康治疗师样本进行评估。
