My name is Érma Brundidge and I am your trainer for District 3 Foster/Adoptive and Relative Parents or as we refer to you, Caregivers. We have many opportunities for you to learn new skills, brush up on old ones and collect those needed training hours for re-certification.

My goal is to provide Caregivers with the best training possible and to listen to your needs for specialized training and try to incorporate that in our specialized training that happens once a month. To find out what is happening this month and in the months to come just check out the training calendar so you can plan ahead and register. |

Gwen Slippy
Recruitment, Retention and Training Specialist |
My name is Gwen Slippy and I am your Foster Parent Recruitment, Retention and Training Specialist. I have had the privilege of working at DHS Child Welfare as a Permanency caseworker since August 2013. Prior to becoming a caseworker, I was a Foster Parent for 7 years and through that process my husband and I adopted two of our four children. I've been where you are!
I am excited to be in this position and part of this team because I believe we need to put as much work into retaining or developing our foster and adoptive families as we do to recruit them. Retention and recruitment will more naturally occur whenever people feel involved, respected, appreciated, and valued as members of a team of professionals working together to create permanence for children. When people have these kind of experiences they will naturally encourage others to come alongside and be involved as well. I want to be on the "front lines" helping develop and equip our foster and adoptive families, so they have the tools they need to successfully care for "our" children. Please contact me with any questions. I look forward to working with you -
