The Denton County Foster Parent Association (DCFPA) offers assistance to caregivers whose often difficult mission is to foster and adopt abused and neglected children. This non-profit, volunteer run organization, in partnership with child welfare professionals, champions child safety and welfare through advocacy and education.
Our outreach programs include, but are not limited to:
Continuing education and training for foster and adoptive parents
Recruitment and retention of foster and adoptive parents
Education of the community on the needs of children in foster and adoptive families
Each meeting includes a three-hour training presentation, for which each person attending receives three credits toward yearly license renewal requirements.
