    This is a 1-hour training for caregivers of children in foster care. We'll help you make your way through the system. You can: 

    • Learn how to make decisions that best serve children and youth 
    • Get resources, support and contact info for more help with services

    • Attend 60 hours of training over 4 to 6 months 
    • Complete the required TFC curriculum through the Department of Child Safety (DCS)
