Foster Parent Training Opporunities
It is the agency's goal to ensure all foster parents receive adequate training that enhance the skills of foster parents and promote stability for children. We typically provide face-to-face training monthly; however, due to COVID-19, the agency had determine the best method for our foster parent to receive training.
Licensure Renewal Training Requirements
Prior to licensure renewal, each foster parent shall complete twenty (20) hours of in-service training. This training may be child-specific or may concern issues relevant to the general population of children in foster care. As the supervising agency, Firm Foundation, Inc. will provide foster parents with resources to meet this training requirement, but it is also the foster parent's responsibility to maintain their training hours.
