TRAINING
The family can be the primary healing agent for a child in foster care, but training is necessary to learn how to connect, nurture, and restore a child with trauma. Fostering is no easy task but our trainers will prepare and support you along the way as you complete required training hours.
Elisha Hicks is our Director of Training and Education. If you have any questions about our training program please call our office or email her at info@isaiahsplace.com
