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 Four: Meeting Developmental Needs: Loss

When children and youth are separated from their family, community and culture, an overwhelming sense of loss may impede growth and development. In this session, applicants will learn the types of losses experienced by children and youth who require out-of-home care and their impact on how a child or youth feels and behaves. “Pathways through the grieving process” is discussed as a framework for addressing loss issues. Loss is presented as something everyone must face. Applicants will have a chance to consider their own response to losses in their lives. Based on this, they will discuss how they might respond to losses that come with resource parenting and how they can help children and youth cope with their losses.

Session Three: Meeting Developmental Needs: Attachment

This session reviews the "basics" of child growth and development, with an emphasis on the importance of a child or youth’s need for a sense of belonging. Applicants will consider how important it is for children and youth to form deep and lasting attachments as well as the impact of positive day-to-day parenting on a child or youth’s growth and development. This session introduces the Ontario Looking After Children model for identifying children and youth’s strengths and needs as well as affirming the importance of believing in resiliency and a child or youth’s capacity to succeed in life. Applicants will learn about child maltreatment, neglect and child institutionalization; and about their impact on attachments, development and behaviour. Ways in which resource parents build positive attachments with children and youth are explored.

Offert en français

L’Intervention guidée par la rétroaction (IGR/FIT) est une approche utilisée pour évaluer et améliorer la qualité et l’efficacité des services humains. L’IGR n’adhère à aucune technique fixe et exige que l’intervenant demande formellement de la rétroaction sur la qualité de l’alliance et des résultats de l’intervention sur le bien-être des clients. Ces informations permettent de modifier la livraison de service afin de répondre aux besoins des clients.

Deux mesures sont utilisées : l’Échelle d’évaluation des résultats (ORS) et l’Échelle d’évaluation de la session (SRS). L’ORS mesure le bien-être du client et le SRS mesure l’alliance. Les échelles sont toujours interprétées selon la perspective du client.

 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 One: Connecting with PRIDE

Session One welcomes applicants to PRIDE. Applicants will learn how the training program integrates with the process of assessing resource families using the SAFE tools. Session One describes the knowledge and skills (known as "competencies") that resource families need to fulfill their important roles in caring for children and youth in through resource parenting. The various pieces of legislation that govern and mandate foster, kinship, customary care and adoption services are explained. Session One also acquaints applicants with several regular features of PRIDE. These include: PRIDE Connections (linking classroom learning with life experiences); Making a Difference! (stories from Ontario families illustrating the rewards of resource parenting); Key Points (a summary of important information discussed in each session); You Need to Know! (lessons to study at home); and A Birth Parent’s Perspective (stories and letters from parents to help you understand the families of children and youth in care). Applicants will view a video that dramatically portrays the experiences of resource parenting and will learn how children, youth and families are referred for these services. By the end of Session One, applicants will know much more about the rewards and challenges of resource parenting.

Session Two: Teamwork Towards Permanence

Why are family relationships so important to growing children and youth? Session Two examines this question and explores ways in which families support a child or youth's identity, cultural heritage and self-esteem. In this session, applicants will learn the value of permanence in the lives of children and youth and how agencies seek to achieve this goal for all children and youth. This session presents tasks that resource parents need to accomplish to keep children and youth connected to important family and community relationships. Applicants will learn why teamwork is necessary to promote permanence for children and youth and will discover the unique role of resource parents as members of a professional team focused on meeting the needs of children and youth.
