Parent Resources for Information, Development and Education - PRIDE - is a model for the development and support of families in adoption and fostering. The PRIDE pre-service program is a nine module, 27-hour training which is interconnected with the SAFE homestudy process. The PRIDE curriculum covers the following areas:
Session One: Connecting with PRIDE
Session Two: Teamwork Towards Permanency
Session Three: Meeting Developmental Needs: Attachment
Session Four: Meeting Developmental Needs: Loss
Session Five: Strengthening Family Relationships
Session Six: Meeting Developmental Needs: Discipline
Session Seven: Continuing Family Relationships
Session Eight: Planning for Change
Session Nine: Making an Informed Decision: Taking PRIDE
These new models provide a structured standardized framework for preparing and assessing families wishing to adopt. These same programs are being used in Children's Aid Societies in their adoption and fostering programs.
Effective January 1, 2008, persons wishing to adopt must complete the PRIDE training program.
