What people have said about Brave Conversations in Texas:
Having the training gives confidence to have these conversations intuitively. You know, you want to have straight talk with the kids. But if you’re a little uncertain, it just gives you the confidence.
I enjoyed the scenarios because they were realistic [and] the training had to do with things that are very likely to occur as a foster mom to a teenager.
Because of the Brave Conversations training, I was able to have the conversation and it was actually an enjoyable conversation where we were laughing and sharing knowledge.
