Talbot County Department of Social Services (TCDSS) recently held a training for its resource (foster) parents on “Attachment Disorder.” The training was presented by Lesa Lee, Clinical Director at For All Seasons.

Recent training topics have included Trauma and Attachment Disorder, Drug Awareness, Grief and Loss, Working with a Complicated Child, and We are Family. Pictured left to right are resource parents who participated in the training: Carleen Mouly, Chrissy Montague, Coordinator of Option Respite for TCDSS; Jeff Scharf, Jeanne Scharf, Audrey Hansen, Emprin Wilson, Tyron Wilson, and Lesa Lee, Clinical Director at For All Seasons.
