D.C.F.S. PRIDE training offered at Willow Creek Community Church

Many of our families have expressed an interest in becoming licensed to become DCFS foster parents. One of the requirements to become licensed is to complete the DCFS Foster Care P.R.I.D.E. Training.

We are happy to let you know that this fall, a P.R.I.D.E. training will be held at Willow Creek Community Church, So. Barrington Campus. If you have been considering becoming a licensed foster care family, please contact a foster care agency that can help you through the process. I've listed three agencies below, but you are free to choose any other licensed agency. Please note that you MUST be referred by an agency in order to attend this training.

Please pass along this information to anyone you know who may be interested.
