Please join us for this ‘book club’ style training and support group in 2011. You may sign up now!

Participants will meet monthly to review and discuss specific chapters of the Boys Town Press’ book, Practical Tools for Foster Parents. A copy will be given to each participant at the first meeting. Participation at all 6 meetings is encouraged. Parents will discuss Boys Town’s approach to foster care in the 21st century, which focuses on teaching skills, building relationships, and empowering kids through teaching them self-discipline and self-control. During these six months, foster parents learn how to provide a safe home for kids and how to deal with their behaviors – both positive and negative.
