T raining will include PRIDE and NHA. Classes are held on Wednesday nights from 6:00-9:00pm
Whether you are applying to become a foster or adoptive parent or are a relative caring for a child, you are required to attend training to become a licensed resource parent. This training is called PRIDE – Parent Resources for Information, Development, and Education.
PRIDE Training is designed to teach knowledge and skills in five essential competency categories:
1. Protecting and nurturing children; 2. Meeting children's developmental needs and addressing developmental delays; 3. Supporting relationships between children and their families; 4. Connecting children to safe, nurturing relationships intended to last a lifetime; and 5. Working as a member of a professional team.
Integral to the belief that protecting and nurturing children at risk and strengthening all their families (birth, foster, or adoptive) requires teamwork among individuals with diverse knowledge and skills, but all working from a shared vision and toward a common goal. Foster and adoptive parents are essential members of this team. They, like caseworkers, require preparation and training to acquire the knowledge and skills they need to be influential members of the professional team.
