CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT*
Foster Pride/Adopt Pride training supports three of Contra Costa County's community outcomes: "Children and
Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood"; "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"; and
"Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families." Through enhanced
education and training, foster and adoptive parents can provide better care to children. The training improves
foster and adoptive parents skills and helps children cope with past abuse and neglect and understand the
reasons for out-of-home-placement.
BACKGROUND-
This Board Order will authorize the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) to contract with
Contra Costa Community College (CCCC) to provide coordination services for the Foster Pride/Adopt Pride
Training Project for FY 2006-07. This training program offers pre-service training to provide foster caregivers
with the skills and understanding needed for sustaining productive and nurturing relationships with foster
children. Potential foster parents and relative caregivers learn techniques to improve parenting,behavior
management and child education to better serve the needs of children under County care. This training program
is very valuable to the foster care program. (#21-261-15)
