Training Schedule
While we’ve missed the in-person events and interactions that help us build connections with current and prospective foster families, the changing social landscape has allowed us to focus our efforts on providing more VIRTUAL training options to better suit your needs. Follow the steps below to begin your foster journey.
This is where you learn more about what it means to be an A&C therapeutic foster parent. To set up a date and time that works for you, or to request more information, contact Amanda Orr at
317-946-9466 or email aorr@adultandchild.org.
If you decide to move forward after your information session, you will be paired with a licensing specialist to walk you through all of your pre-service training. The licensing process typically takes 2-3 months, but it is driven by your engagement in the process. Our staff are here to meet your family’s individual needs and make the trainings as accessible as possible, based on your schedule.
Our staff will help you maintain your licensure through additional trainings each year.
