Online Training now available from FAFS!

Foster and Adoptive Family Services (FAFS) is pleased to announce the availability of six online (e-learning) courses; five in English and one in Spanish.    These courses each count towards your in-service training requirements to maintain your foster parent license.  Current online course topics offered in English include Asthma, Smoking, Skin Disorders, Eating Disorders, and Special Education.  There is one current offering in Spanish on Self Injury.  Please try this new training modality today.  It’s fast, convenient, and informative!
 

Resource Parent Honorarium Increased!

Effective May 1, 2007, the honorarium provided to resource parents who recruit other families will increase from $100 for regular homes and $150 for boarder baby placements to a flat rate of $200. Resource parents who recruit other families are entitled to this honorarium when the home they refer becomes licensed. Resource parents who qualify for the honorarium will receive the new rate for homes licensed after May 1st.
