Cayuga Centers Hosts Foster Parent Training Course in South Florida

PALM BEACH, FL- AUGUST 20, 2024 - Cayuga Centers announces an upcoming Foster Parent Pre-Service Training, which will take place virtually via Google Meet. The course consists of three-hour sessions offered on Tuesday evenings for seven weeks. The summer session will begin on August 20th at 6:30 pm and end on October 1st. These classes are part of a training program to prepare foster parents to provide supportive, loving homes for children and youth in need. Cayuga Centers seeks compassionate individuals from Palm Beach, Broward, St. Lucie, Martin, Okeechobee, and Indian River counties to participate in the training. The Foster Parent Pre-Service Training Course will provide education on the role of a foster parent in the treatment plan of youth in foster care. Participants will also learn about our Treatment Family Foster Care program, the essential knowledge and skills needed to become a certified therapeutic foster parent, and the support offered to foster parents in the program. Individuals will receive certification upon completion of the course. In 2023, Florida had more than 20,000 youth in foster care but only a little over 8,500 foster homes. Cayuga Centers offers Treatment Family Foster Care, which is a research-informed, multi-tiered team approach for children and youth who need high levels of support due to trauma they have experienced. The agency has served in Palm Beach since 2015, Broward County since 2019, and the Treasure Coast region since 2022.
