Brief Description:
PRIDE (Parent Resources for Information, Development, and Education) has been rated by the CEBC in the area of Placement Stabilization. PRIDE was developed with the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA) through a collaboration of 14 state child welfare agencies, two national resource centers, and several universities and colleges. It is a model for the development and support of foster care families that is used by private and public child welfare agencies in 30 states and 19 other countries. PRIDE is designed to strengthen the quality of foster care and adoption services by providing a standardized, structured process for recruiting, training, and selecting foster parents and adoptive parents. This 14-step model for delivering foster care services includes instructions and tools on how to implement the steps of the model and is described in the PRIDE Practice Handbook. CWLA offers training to managers, supervisors, workers, experienced foster parents, and staff on how to implement the model's practices.
