Respite care includes couples retreats, trauma mommas retreat, parents night out. For foster parents-caring for these children on a daily basis can be very stressful and difficult for foster and adoptive parents. This ultimately takes a toll on the family as a whole. Our community center will provide a much needed break for these exhausted foster and adoptive parents while still meeting the special needs of the children. This intervention will provide parents with an opportunity to recharge, prevent burn-out, stabilize the whole family, and ultimately result in fewer foster and adoptive disruptions.
Training - licensed foster parents are required to complete at least 12 hours of continuing education classes each calendar year. Training classes offered at our community center will not only help satisfy these requirements but also provide all kinship, foster and adoptive parents with opportunities to further their education on a variety of topics. We are currently offering training classes on the utilization of jacobs law at many locations throughout arizona. Proceeds from these trainings go directly towards funding our non-profit endeavors including the community center. Jl and education
