Words From Facilitators

I loved the material, especially the displays of understanding and the stories!

I appreciated the activities that tugged on my own emotions because it took a personal experience and related it to what kids in foster care experience but to a higher degree.

The “Real-Life” videos and examples are also excellent tools for empowering foster/adoptive parents.

Theme content incorporating many podcasts and real life videos will greatly enhance foster parent training.
