AZDCS/Foster Parent Pre-Service Training Program
The Arizona Department of Child Safety requires that all foster care and adoption agencies train through a set of curriculum in conjunction with the National Training and Development Curriculum (NTDC).  This training is led by a state employee who has been certified to deliver the material.  The training is a total of 30 hours and is blended with virtual sessions through Microsoft Teams and several online modules through ntdctraining.org.

The class is designed to prepare families to work with children who have suffered from abuse or neglect and how to help them manage their behaviors.  The training process incorporates videos and small group activities along with personal stories from the trainer to give prospective parents an accurate look at how fostering and adopting will affect their family.

The training is entirely free.  If you have any questions in regards to training, feel free to email us at paul@faithandfamilies.com.
