Ongoing Training: Communicable Diseases

Communicable Diseases

This is an ongoing training class for already licensed foster parents.

Because children are exposed to a variety of environments, it is imperative that caregivers have the ability to identify common concerns quickly in order to stop the spread of disease processes and help keep their families healthy. In addition to signs and symptoms, you will review best practices in preventing the further spread of illness.

**Training is currently occurring in a virtual environment.**

Please reserve one ticket per attendee. Video required for training credit. Same-household attendees may attend on one or multiple devices.
