The Bridge Mental Health Continuum is offering training to married and single adults who want to become foster parents. Officials at the facility said training is needed in order for foster parents to provide guidance to children who have been abused, neglected and separated from their families.
Specialized training is required to meet the needs of children in therapeutic foster care.
Training sessions begin at 9 a.m. Sept. 19 at The Bridge offices, located at 725 Arlington Street. Completion of the training session will enable adults to become certified foster parents for the facility's traditional foster care program and therapeutic foster care program.
