FOSTER SOURCE

Foster Parent Trainings - Foster Source provides various free training seminars for continuing education and provides appropriate childcare. Topics of training seminars include basics of parenting children with trauma, repercussions of fetal alcohol syndrome and drug exposure, as well as trainings on parenting children of a different race, choosing the right therapy type for your foster child, and in-depth sessions regarding different therapy options.

Foster Parent Support Groups – Foster parents have the opportunity to come together and discuss their struggles, and supporting one another during this time. The private location provides a safe, judgement-free environment for foster parents to vent, ask advice, laugh and cry.

Our behavioral health training courses are currently offered in Windsor, Brighton, Aurora, and Denver. We serve foster parents statewide in Colorado, and have made individual trips to try to better accommodate rural foster parents. The Learning Source is our virtual classroom and formed as a result of so many rural counties asking how their foster parents can access our trainings. This virtual classroom will increase access to behavioral health education to foster parents all over the state, and eventually, even nationally. We are thrilled to be able to include foster parents live in the virtual classroom during our live in person trainings as well as afterwards in an on demand capacity.
