Here is where we will keep you in the loop on our upcoming information sessions and trainings!
Information Sessions are a “no commitment” way to get more information about Foster Care, the approval process and what it takes to become a Resource Parent. If you are interested in becoming a Resource Parents, you will need to attend an information session before you begin the pre-service training.
Currently, a majority of our Information Sessions are being held virtually.
Upcoming Information Sessions will be held via Zoom on:
Thursday, August 20, at 6:00,
Thursday, September 3, at 6:00
You can register for an information session by emailing Cassady.Cleveland@dss.virginia.gov
