Resource Foster Care offers diverse, but rewarding challenges. TFI Family Services offers one of the most comprehensive training programs of any child welfare agency in the state of Kansas to give their Resource Foster Parents the keys to be successful. Prior to being licensed, families receive training covering topics such as: feelings, behaviors, working with the system, identifying abuse, and understanding the legal aspects of Resource Foster parenting. Through the PS PS-MAPP course, biological parents and prospective Resource Foster parents are taught the fundamental basics of good parenting and what to expect as Resource Foster parents, while our Title IV-E training (co-sponsored with the Children's Alliance of Kansas) ensures that our current Resource Foster parents receive the necessary assistance and accreditation. Continual educational opportunities are provided through our support system to Resource Foster Families.

TFI Family Services also hosts and co-sponsor a number of local-based training seminars and presentations for the general public, seeking to educate communities on different aspects of good parenting, becoming a Resource Foster parent, child welfare and safety, and various other topics.
