April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and National Foster Care Month

As we talk about National Foster Care Month and the ways you can get involved, we want to share an upcoming training opportunity. Just like parents with biological children, foster and adoptive parents sometimes need a break to go to meetings or have a date night, but finding a babysitter is often difficult. To babysit a child in foster care, you must go through a babysitting course.
If fostering or adopting isn’t right for you, being a certified babysitter is a great way to help children and families in foster care. Here’s a link with more detailed info on requirements, costs, and participating agencies: https://www.fosteringhopeaustin.org/foster-care-babysitting-certification/
