Foster Parent Training

Both active and prospective foster parents choose to foster because they find pleasure in parenting and they want to improve a child's life.  Appropriate training will be able to help organizations to retain foster parents and enable them to do a better job for the children in their care.  MAZCAN has conducted over 200 foster care trainings for foster care agencies staff and parents within the Baltimore, Washington metropolitan area. We have proven successful outcomes from these relationships!
