One of Our Training Programs in Sherburne County

In Sherburne County, we recognize the importance of cultural competence in fostering positive relationships between foster parents and children. A significant observation has been that most foster parents are white, while many foster children are black. To bridge this cultural gap, Influencer Hotspot offers specialized training for foster parents and Sherburne County staff working with foster kids.

 Training Focus Areas

– Hair Care and Styling: Our program educates participants on how to properly manage and style black hair. This includes practical demonstrations and guidance on techniques for maintaining various black hairstyles such as braids and raster.

– Product Knowledge: We provide information on where to find appropriate and affordable hair care products for black hair, ensuring that foster parents can meet the unique grooming needs of their foster children.

– Cultural Significance: The training also delves into the history and cultural significance of black hairstyles, fostering a deeper appreciation and understanding of these traditions.

 Cross-Cultural Communication Training

The CEO of Influencer Hotspot has also led cross-cultural communication training for employees of Wright County, MN. This training is designed to enhance the employees’ understanding of cross-cultural communication and equip them with the necessary skills to effectively interact with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds.

 Training Objectives
