We know that each year families search out continuing education hours from a variety of sources. Tapestry has created a program where you can find all the training hours and ministry online courses you need. We created this program for both convenience and cohesiveness.

Agencies allow foster parents to have a certain percentage of their annual training hours come from self-paced activities. You will have to check with your agency for the specific details on what is allowed. The most common way to meet these hours is by reading books. The following books (except for No-Drama Discipline and Brainstorm) are all required reading for those taking the Empowered to Connect course. All of the books are available for purchase through our ONLINE STORE.
