Improving Foster Parent Retention through Effective Training: Attachment Theory Jillian Anderson, Luisa Baldino, Maddy Galvin, Brenden Kelety, Titan Mitchell, Kacie Sakamaki
May 8, 2020
30-50% of foster parents leave the program within a year (Gibbs). This unfortunate trend can be seen across the country, and it is largely due to lack of appropriate training among foster parents (Newton). This lack of training is what prompted our project, designed to promote accessible and quality education to foster parents anywhere. For the purposes of practicality and demonstration, we have decided to focus on the psychological concept of Attachment Theory, and its close implications among those in foster care.
