Starting this year, all foster, adoptive and kinship parents in Colorado can access free personal and professional development training online through\u00a0The Foster Care Institute<\/a>. The Foster Care Institute offers over 55 online webinars and nine ebooks on a variety of topics related to foster care.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abWe wanted to provide a broader range of accessible training topics that would be useful to for foster parents at all levels of experience so they can continue to increase their knowledge, skill sets, and expertise,\u00bb said Mary Griffin, Program Administrator for Foster Care and Relative Guardianship Assistance for the Division of Child Welfare (DCW), which is making the training available at no cost to parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All foster, adoptive and kinship parents should have received an email to access the training at\u00a0The Foster Care Institute<\/a>. After logging in with the password provided, foster and adoptive parents and non-certified kinship caregivers can access over 55 webinars under the Speaking\/Training tab. Individuals should check their spam or junk folders for the email from The Foster Care Institute, as it may be sent there. Those who have not received information about how to access the training can email Dr. DeGarmo at\u00a0drjohndegarmo@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and let him know that they are a foster parent, adoptive parent or kinship caregiver located in Colorado.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
