Workshops cover a variety of topics. Some are in person and some are virtual. Most are approved for credit through CFSA for those maintaining a resource parent license.

A Safe Space to Learn More

We offer a place to ask questions and address fears and myths about foster car, resources as you discern your next steps, and connection to the Child & Family Services Agency (CFSA) to become licensed.
