Training

I wanted to learn more about how you get trained for Foster Caring because it raised some interesting questions like how to discipline the child and the topic of religion. In my interview with Tiffany Meredith, a Training Manager, I asked her some general questions about the certification process as well as what goes into the training sessions and the discipline and religion topics. She gave me some great info on the subjects and below is the interview and below that is the list of training components that are covered in the sessions.
