CURRICULUM AND CONFERENCES
Since 2008, Finally Home has been equipping foster, adoptive and kinship families to build healthy homes where kids can heal.
Family Training
Our family strengthening program is comprised of SuperHero Academy for children, Solid Rock Students for youth, and Survival Skills for Healthy Foster, Adoptive, and Kinship Families for adults. Each of these life-stage curricula contain research-based content with multiple sessions and themes that can stand alone or build upon one another.
Parent and Caregiver Training
Survival Skills for Healthy Foster, Adoptive, and Kinship Families, the adult curriculum, is focused on the unique needs of these special families. Taking from the best of social science and psychological research, we teach skills and patterns that consistently show up in healthy families. This offering is recognized by most human services departments for foster, adoptive, and kinship parent continuing education units and certification. Topics include Adults in Healthy Families, Solving Problems, Raising Kids Who Have Experienced Trauma, Parents as Leaders and Models, and Preparing Children for Life.
Live Family Events
At our Family Strengthening Conferences, trained instructors present a research-based curriculum to the adults, which qualifies for parent continuing education units (CEU’s). While adults receive their training, children and youth attend therapy-informed SuperHero Academy and Solid Rock Students programs. Due to the diversity of programs, participants can attend as a whole family, removing the need to find specialized childcare.
