These classes are designed to prepare you to care for a child who may have experienced trauma and to provide you with many other supportive skills in your journey as a foster or adoptive parent.

The next classes are scheduled to begin on Tuesday, August 20th, 2019. The training is offered by KVC at no cost to participants.The class will be offered at the Leavenworth KVC office at 225 Cherokee St, Leavenworth KS 66048.
