Training for Parents
How the Coalition Supports Foster/Adoptive/Guardianship Parents
Each year, the Coalition provides thousands of hours of skill-building trainings to foster/adoptive/guardianship parents at no cost.
Licensed foster parents are required to complete 30 hours of in-service training per licensure period (every two years). The Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition began hosting Foster/Adopt Parent Workshops. These workshops will allow you to:
- Connect with other parents to share resources
- Learn how a child’s prior experiences can impact their behaviors
- Explore ways to enhance your strengths as a parent
- Share and learn new skills to influence your child’s behaviors and attitudes
- Discover ways to reduce the stress of parenting
