This purpose of this training is to provide professional respite services to our foster families. Respite is an important service offered to foster parents that helps connect children in care to safe, healthy relationships, and to give our foster homes a break. We cover an overview of the purpose of respite care, an overview of caring for children in care, the respite process, and requirements for homes providing respite care for the State of Missouri.

Upon completion of the course participants will complete a quiz and start the application process to become and in home respite provider which includes fingerprint background check and safety evaluation of your home.
