Are you interested in exploring what it means to be a NH DCYF caregiver? If you would like to learn how to become a NH DCYF caregiver, you can attend an informational session hosted by the DCYF Foster Care Program. These sessions provide an overview of foster care.
Once your application is reviewed, and the required criteria is met, you will be invited to register for the NH DCYF Caregiver Pre-Service Training or the NH DCYF Kinship Caregiver Training. Your Home Study Practitioner and/or Caregiver Coordinator will provide you with the appropriate course to register for your initial training.
Are you currently a licensed caregiver looking to continue learning and receive Continuing Education Units (CEUs)? The Child Welfare Education Partnership (CWEP) offers competency-based training for caregivers to enhance the quality of care for children living outside of their own homes. These courses are designed to meet the requirements for caregiver re-licensure, emergency foster care, specialized care, and for DCYF and DJJS employee development. These courses are made available through federal and state funding and are available at NO COST for those eligible to participate.
