About this listen

 Ep. 4 This week on Licensed to Love, we’re breaking down the heart of the initial fostering process: the training, preparation, and ongoing support that Families Thrive gives every family who says “yes.” 💛 Director of Program Services Veronica Black sits down with Michelle Hinds, a seasoned home finder and trainer, to walk you through the 10-week trauma-informed course that equips families to understand the emotional and developmental needs of children in care. From navigating trauma to building confidence as a caregiver, this training is designed to prepare you for the real-life moments you’ll face — not just the paperwork. You’ll also get an inside look at the support that continues after licensing: 🏡 Regular in-home visits 🧡 One-on-one guidance tailored to your family’s needs 👥 Support groups and community resources 📅 Flexible training schedules for busy parents 🤝 A team that stays with you, every step of the way Chapters: 0:00 Introduction 3:44 Training Foster Parents to Handle Trauma-Experienced Children 6:01 Background Checks and Support Systems 11:16 Flexible Foster Parent Training and Support Initiatives 15:49 The Joys and Challenges of Fostering Children 19:32 Supporting Foster Families Through Personal Experience #LicensedToLove #FamiliesThrive #FosterCareTraining #AdoptionSupport #FosterParentJourney #TraumaInformedCare #InHomeSupport #NYFosterCare #FamilyServices Learn more about your ad choices.
