One program was designed for social workers and therapists in the field of foster care, and the Orr Shalom daycare caretakers, and took place in the central and Southern regions. The objective was an extensive discussion of sexuality: healthy sexual development, warning signs and identifying developmental risk situations, coping with sexual abuse and understanding its implications; and considering continuity of existing protection programs and building new programs. Another training was designed for foster care guidance counselors, with the objective of enhancing their professional knowledge and skills in guiding and instructing foster parents. In addition, an online advanced seminar was held on inappropriate and/or abusive sexual behavior in children. Many children and adolescents in out-of-home placement have been sexually abused, and some imitate similar behavior in their residential care. The objective was enhancing knowledge of care for children in out-of-home placements who display inappropriate sexual behavior.
