Course Testimonials
This course was so right on with how our foster kiddos were. I now know more and can help them more with issues that they face. It also really helped me to see that a lot of what we were already doing was correct. I wish I had known about this course before they were placed with us. A lot of what we did was what had worked for my own children. Will use this course as a resource and will tell other foster parents about this course and how wonderful it was presented too.
