DCFS Foster Parent Pre-Service Training

The next DCFS Foster Parent Pre-Service Training is scheduled to begin on January 20^th and will be held on four consecutive Saturdays from 9 am to 3 pm. The training is live and on Microsoft Teams. This training is for prospective family foster homes. Relative and fictive kin homes are trained through a contract with Foster Kinship Navigators. Homes that wish only to adopt should be referred to adoption resources.

In order to sign up for the January Pre-Service training, a prospective foster parent should create an account on www.ruralnvfoostercare.com. If the applicant has any questions, they can contact Foster Care Recruiter Shelby Riley at shelby.riley@dcfs.nv.gov.

After attending and completing all four sessions, participants will move on to the next steps in foster care licensure.
