Abstract
  • Research has demonstrated that around one-third of children will re-enter care after reunifying with family due to continued maltreatment (LaBrenz et al., 2020). The importance of a planned and purposeful process that involves preparation, intervention, and follow-up among all caregivers helps increase successful reunification (Ankersmit, 2016). The purpose of this doctoral capstone project is to provide caregivers with the knowledge and comfort to increase the quality of care. The continuous demand to increase family reunification led to a series of four educational workshops at Wellpoint Care Network. Topics covered consisted of co-regulation, habit training, and well-being. Pre-and post-surveys were administered to collect the workshop's effectiveness in providing knowledge and decreasing the discomfort level of the participants surrounding the caregiving skills. Results indicated that participants gained knowledge in all workshops while decreasing their discomfort in both the topics of co-regulations and well-being.
