What is LUFT?

LUFT is a powerful 2-hour live webinar created specifically to train new and seasoned Resource Parents to foster teens effectively. LUFT removes the stigma and fear of the teen in foster care therefore increasing the number of homes willing to take teens. LUFT answers the challenges of  day to day fostering that aren't typically covered in the initial RFA training so parents feel more confident and prepared to foster.

We cover topics such as:

Giving parents practical and relevant tools to handle common issues have been proven to:

Accessibility

LUFT is also convenient and can be accessed from anyplace where WIFI is available.

In-Person Intensive

LUFT is also available as an in-person intensive, which goes even deeper into the realities and skills of caring for and fostering teens

(In person Intensive is now online and will resume in person when Covid guidelines allow).

Feeling inadequate as a new or experienced Resource Parent  is normal, it goes with the territory. But they should never feel that they were never given the tools to foster proficiently, especially when it comes to fostering teens. 

Teens are the most challenging to place and have the highest early placement termination rate. Why? Fear, the lack of training and understanding of the youth in foster care. LUFT will ensure that your Resource Parents have a firm parenting foundation and a clear understanding of the realities of fostering teens.
