CANADIAN DISASTER CHILD CARE SOCIETY

Workshops
 

Canadian Disaster Child Care Society trains and equips volunteers with specialized child care knowledge and skills so that they will be able to:

• Provide personal attention, comfort and acceptance to the children whose homes and families are impacted by a disaster and are in disaster shelters or seeking assistance in a disaster reception centre.
• Provide these children with encouragement and the opportunity to express their feelings through appropriate play activities.
• Provide information concerning the impact of disasters on children, as well as counsel and comfort, to parents, other disaster workers, churches, schools and the community.

Level One Workshop for caregivers is a 27 hour overnight learning opportunity designed to prepare caregivers for the physical and emotional stresses of caring for children after trauma.

Level Two Workshop for professional caregivers is presently being developed.
