Adoption On Line (AOL) Training Course

"Welcome to the Aboriginal Pre-Adoption On-Line Training course. This is a course that has been developed for people who are interested in adopting Canadian Aboriginal children. The information and learning from the activities will support a commitment to promoting the emotional, physical, mental and spiritual well-being of these children." 
(excerpted from the preamble to the AOL Course)

Description

This course is divided into six units called modules. Each module is separated into several lessons. It is anticipated that you will spend approximately four hours per week during a six week period working through these lessons. While some modules are shorter and may take less time to complete, others may take longer. The total training time is estimated to be approximately twenty four hours.

Overview

This training course will provide:

  • the context for training
  • the impact of colonization and residential schools
  • the importance of cultural identity for Aboriginal children
  • the challenges in developing a positive racial identity for Aboriginal children
  • the significance of developing and maintaining a child’s connection to their family, extended family, culture and community
  • information about post adoption services and resources.

While this course is designed to provide information, it is also intended to offer guidance and support for participants as they learn about the issues that are critical and essential for nurturing and supporting an Aboriginal child into adulthood.
