TRAINING INSTITUTE

The Fred Finch Youth Center Training Department provides high-quality training to people who provide care for foster children at no cost to the individual or organization.

Course offerings are designed to:

• Increase individual competence in areas of systemic and systematic intervention, cultural competence, co-occurring capacity, and clinical excellence
