National Resource Center for Youth Services: Resource Family Training & Support

NRCYS

RFT Support Groups Calendar

Support Network Groups are designed to assist resource parents with in-service training, community resource information, peer support, and communication with DHS. Attending on a regular basis is not only a great way to get the emotional and practical support you need to succeed, it's a great way to stay on top of the training requirements you need to fulfill.
