Grief and loss are interwoven through the foster experience.

This workshop will include a 2 ½ hour presentation and a ½ hour Question-and-Answer segment. Ashleigh Martinflatt is a registered social worker, clinical counsellor, and a post-secondary instructor. She teaches courses on trauma, child abuse, and neglect in both Social Work and Child and Youth Care degree programs.
