Trainers: Carrie McAuliffe Sandoval & Wendy Homan

If you have gotten your license to be a Resource Parent within the last couple of years, this class is for you!

Long-time FKCE trainer Carrie McAuliffe Sandoval and long-time Foster, turned Resource Parent, Wendy Homan, designed this series for our “newer” families.

Real-life scenarios will be used each week as case studies!

The 4-week class will explore:

1. Building Your Support System (family & friends, professional contacts, when to reach out)
2. Creating Responsible Resource Families (rights & responsibilities, acronyms, record- keeping)
3. Welcoming a Child/Sibling Group into your Home (the “First Day”, communication, positive discipline, resiliency)
4. Transitions (children arriving & departing, grief & loss, birth parent interaction)

*Participants will receive a certificate for 12 hours of training upon completion of the series.
