  3. What is The Children’s Connection (TCC) • The purpose of TCC is to engage biological children in the foster care training process. By helping birth children understand what children in care have or go through, they can better prepare and understand their role in making sure the child is comfortable and safe.

  4. The TCC Program Outline Over the course of a year, TCC specialists engage with foster families to see if the training is helping biological children adjust to children in care coming into their homes. There are 4 sessions that biological children will complete: Session 1: Introduction of TCC – is an interactive in-class session that focuses on defining foster care, traumatized children and sharing. Session 2: The Transition- is a follow up worksheet for class participants. The worksheet covers the transition of having a foster child(ren) in the home. Session 3: Assessing the Changes- is based on a follow-up worksheet; concerns or ideas will be discussed in a classroom setting. Session 4: The Journey of Fostering- is bringin biological child(ren) and parents to discussed their one year journey with having a child(ren) placed in their home.
