Parenting Skills Training (PST)

Teaching and Learning with Children in Care.

Skilled caregivers are the heart of an effective treatment foster care program. Our original Parenting Skills Training was the first preservice curriculum developed specifically for therapeutic caregivers.

A complete revision of the curriculum was published in 2009, after three years of intensive focus. This new nine-session, 27 hour preservice package balances caregiver self-awareness with skills to promote trauma recovery and child behavior change.

The new PST is approved in Virginia for Title IV-E Reimbursement at 75%. This represents a significant cost savings to programs looking to adopt a quality TFC parent training program. Please see our News Page for details.
