Foster and Kinship Care Education Program







July - August 2009 Schedule

Kinship Care Education

Foster Care Education

If you are a grandparent, aunt, uncle, sibling, etc. raising your relative’s children then you are a Kinship Care provider. There is no formal requirement for you to attend classes or workshops, but many kinship care providers have expressed a desire for more training in specific areas to help them better meet the needs of the children in their care and themselves as well. You are welcome to attend any of the classes or workshops in this website which were traditionally geared to foster parents. Just call the registration line at 1-800-200-1222 or in the case of the Support Group Workshops, call the contact person for that group for directions.

Kinship Support Groups

Kinship Support Groups/Traditions of Caring workshops are held throughout the county in collaboration with the local region's Community Services for Families agencies who often offer childcare onsite for the meetings. Just call the number for the group most convenient for you to get directions and other information.
