New tool to help simplify Washington State P.R.I.D.E. trainings for adoptive and foster families.

Fri, 09/09/2011 - 12:20

Families Like Ours releases new tool to help simplify Washington State P.R.I.D.E. trainings for adoptive and foster families. 

Families and professionals can now find out what P.R.I.D.E. trainings are available, and register for FLO and other agency trainings through www.wapridetraining.org, and www.familieslikeours.org web sites. Families Like Ours has made this available in light of September 2011 changes in the King County P.R.I.D.E. training registration process after hearing from many families and professionals. Families can still attend a P.R.I.D.E. training through Families Like Ours, or a private placement agency, as well as department trainings. Please contact us if you have any questions related to your training.

As the catalog and calendar grows with added trainings, listed offerings include:

  • Washington State PRIDE trainings
  • Online Continuing Ed trainings
  • Family and Parenting workshops and trainings
Families Like Ours continues to provide community support for pre and post adoptive, foster families and the professional team. We hope this new tool will help streamline what has become a confusing process for many. Watch over the next few months as this resource grows and expands.
