What Kind of Training is Provided to Foster Parents?
Prospective foster parents need to attend a preparation group. This training is designed to help you learn more about foster care and the needs of the children. This information will help you decide whether or not you are ready to make the commitment to be a foster parent. If you are married, both husband and wife must attend the group. The meetings are generally held one night a week for eight consecutive weeks (from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.). Four Saturday meetings may also be scheduled, lasting from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. to complete the group preparation process.
