Pre- Service Training
Every applicant must complete 18 hours of pre-service training
which is offered free of charge. It is intended for families to complete
training prior to beginning the home assessment process. Additional training hours are required after a home study is completed. This
thought-provoking training is offered locally by Fairfield County CPS,
as well as other locations and provides vital, basic knowledge about
general foster care and adoption issues, understanding the impact of
abuse, neglect and trauma on children, and specialized parenting skills
for those fostering or adopting. For our next pre-service training
