Introductory
Training Calendar |
The goal of Introductory Training is
to provide prospective foster and adoptive parents with the foundational
skills necessary to prepare them to understand and cope with the
experience of receiving an adoptive or foster child into their home.
This 24 hour competency based training program, known as
Fundamentals of Foster and Adoptive Parenting, is delivered at various
locations across the state, weekday evenings or Saturdays.
Each year, training teams teach at least 30 rounds of this
curriculum.
Introductory Training is
mandatory prior to foster home licensure or approval as an adoptive
parent.
Prior to registering, participants should have attended an informational
meeting and submitted an application to foster/ adopt.
Contact the foster home licensing or adoption unit in your
local DHHS office for permission to register for training in your
area.
