Permanent Family Resource Center will be offering orientation meetings at various times throughout the year.  These meetings are meant for interested individuals and/or couples to receive more information about our services and the adoption process in general.  Individuals and/or couples are strongly encouraged to attend an orientation meeting before attending the Educational Training.  There is no fee for this meeting and registration is not required but would be appreciated.

Permanent Family Resource Center has two Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians on staff to train child care providers (daycare, foster care, etc.) in proper installation, selection and use of various child passenger restraints.  In October 2005, the Minnesota Department of Human Services issued a new statute that all child care providers need to obtain 3-hrs. of Child Passenger Safety.  In addition to this training, we offer a 1-hour training on Shaken Baby Syndrome and SIDS.  There is a $25/person fee for this 4-hour training.
