Strategic Collaborations
FosterParentCollege joined with the Child Welfare League of America to develop the New Generation PRIDE Model of Practice for agencies. Within this model, the pre-service training component introduces parents to the practice of trauma-informed care using 12 online classes and five in-person meetings. Additionally, the PRIDE Model emphasizes the mutual assessments by the agency and the parents regarding the family's ability, willingness, and skills in providing care for children. read more »
