What is PRIDE (Parent Resources for Information, Development and Education)?

Developed in Illinois in 1993, PRIDE is a competency-based model for the development and support of resource (foster and adoption) families. It is designed to strengthen the quality of foster care and adoption services by providing a standardized, structured framework for recruiting, preparing and selecting foster and adoptive parents. It also provides foster parent inservice training and ongoing professional development.

The components of the PRIDE Program are:

  • Nine Pre-Service training modules (27 hours)
  • “Connection” homework assignments related to each session
  • Mutual Family Assessment – competency based and integrated with SAFE
  • Family Development Planning Tools (for ongoing education)
  • Nine In-Service training modules also available in digital format

Session Nine: Making an Informed Decision

In this closing session, applicants will hear from a panel of experienced members of the child or youth’s team. Resource parents, biological parents, workers, adoptees, youth in care and family members will present their views and answer questions. Applicants will have a chance to reflect on their own growth in the knowledge and skills required for resource parenting. They will be well on their way toward a final decision about their commitment to becoming kin, customary care, foster care or adoptive parents.

ways to provide lifelong connections to children and youth who cannot grow up in their families, including openness in adoption, planned resource care and independent living.
