Foster Parent College is the leading online caregiver training website, with 26 research-based, proven-effective courses taught by nationally recognized psychiatrists, psychologists, pediatricians, social workers, and educators. FPC is aimed at foster, adoptive and kinship parents as well as CASA/GAL volunteers.

As budgets are slashed, more states and agencies are turning to online training as an innovative alternative to expensive in-house training sessions. Resource parents are grateful for online training because they get the information they need, when they need it, without the cost of child care or commuting. Parents in 17 Colorado counties use Foster Parent College classes.

According to Mr. White, “The dependency care system is coming around the notion of online training; it hasn’t happened quickly, but it is happening.”

Lee White is the president and co-founder of Northwest Media, Inc., of Eugene, OR. Northwest Media is parent company of Foster Parent College, VStreet.com, and SocialLearning.com.

Dr. Delaney is a Colorado-based author of numerous books on the challenges faced by foster and adoptive youth and the adults who care for them. Dr. Delaney has been instrumental in developing Foster Parent College. He is a primary contributor and host for many of the courses.
