One of the first and most important steps to becoming a licensed foster or adoptive parent is to complete TIPS-MAPP classes (Trauma Informed Partnering for Safety and Permanence – Model Approach to Partnerships in Parenting). 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 Monday, September 9, 2019. The training is offered by KVC at no cost to participants.The class will be offered at the Olathe KVC office, 21350 W. 153rd Street, Olathe, KS 66061.
