DVC FKCE training includes RFA Pre-Service, continuing education, and The Heritage
Project. Although our target audience is primarily resource families, adoptive families,
and relative caregivers, our trainings and support groups are open to everyone in
the community including families, friends, social workers, STRTP staff, and any professional
who works with children.
Participants receive a certificate of completion following each training or support
group. Training and support groups meet state and county RFA pre-service and annual
