THE TRAINING PROCESS

You don’t know what you don’t know! We provide training to prepare you for success. Certification training is limited to those who have committed to Project 1.27. ​

Project 1.27 parents must attend each of the training sessions in their entirety.
FOSTER ADOPT CORE TRAINING (FACT) - 12 HOURS
Foster Adopt Core Training (FACT) teaches the core competencies outlined by the Colorado Department of Human Services. Project 1.27’s FACT session is taught from a biblical perspective by experienced instructors. FACT explores: choosing your certification agency; the court process; child abuse and neglect; child development; how abuse and neglect impact child development; ethnicity and culture; grief and loss; and discipline.
PROJECT 1.27 CORE TRAINING (PCORE) - 12 HOURS
PCORE is a unique Biblically-based training that complements the competencies outlined by the Colorado Department of Human Services. This training session is taught from a Christian perspective by pastors, professionals, and Project 1.27 parent alumni. PCORE provides the opportunities to: meet  certifying agencies; explore 1 Corinthians 13 with seasoned foster parents; develop parenting strategies for children who’ve experienced trauma (Project 1.27 utilizes Trust Based Relational Intervention principles to promote attachment and healing); and move from a fear-based to a faith-based focus on foster care.
SUPPORT TEAM TRAINING - 4 HOURS
All Project 1.27 families are required to bring at least four adult friends or family members to Support Team Training. The support you receive from your Support Team will make the difference between a thriving family and devastating isolation. Support Team Training provides: equipping your team with a realistic view of foster care; discussion around the impact and needs of your family; and practical team suggestions for supporting your family. Visit Family-Support Team for additional information.
INVITE TEAM MEMBERS TO TRAINING
SUPPORT GROUP VISIT - 1 HOUR
These folks are on the same journey of  fostering and adopting. They are the ones who “get it.”  Having adequate support is essential when fostering or adopting. All Project 1.27 parents are required to attend a support group session to understand the value of a support group.

REASONABLE & PRUDENT PARENTING - 1.5 HOURS
The Colorado Dept. of Human Services created a web-based training to equip foster parents to make decisions regarding their children’s safety, permanency, and well-being. The task is complicated for caregivers of children and youth in foster care given the number of laws, policies, guidelines, and rules that restrict activities and require potentially time-consuming approval processes.​
