Want to Foster or Adopt? Get Started with the Virtual Class

While the current health concerns of COVID-19 have a lot of health and safety precautions in place, we are happy to announce a training option that doesn’t require in-person meetings. With the ability of virtual learning, we can offer you a one-on-one class called Deciding Together (DT). This class pairs you with a professional who will provide you with all the trauma-informed information and education required from the state of KS to become a licensed foster home.

This format has all of the same information and education that’s contained in our TIPS-MAPP classes, but these are tailored to meet your needs in a more individualized setting in this time of social distancing and health precautions currently in place due to COVID-19.

This course will take 7 individual meetings. In each session, your DT leader will go over a book (sent electronically) to cover all content and provide group discussion and feedback. This can all be done virtually through online meetings in the comfort and safety of your own home. Internet access and phone and web-camera accessories will be required so that we can visually see both you and your home. If technology is a barrier for you, please let us know, and we can look at other training options.

Our next class will start June 1, 2020 and run for 7 sessions:

June 1, 6pm-9pm

June 8, 6pm-9pm

June 15, 6pm-9pm

June 22, 6pm-9pm

June 29, 6pm-9pm

July 6, 6pm-9pm

July 13, 6pm-9pm

Participants MUST attend all sessions to complete the course. Two virtual home visits will be completed as well.

We here at KVC are excited to adapt in these current times and still meet the needs of children and teens in need. To enroll or discuss your options further, please contact Kim Edwards at kiedwards@kvc.org.
