Straight From The Heart has on-site training facilities to host workshops provided by the Grossmont Community College Foster, Adoptive and Kinship Care Education Program (FAKCE). We have many trainings each month, on weekends and evenings so that foster families will have the opportunity to learn how to care for the children placed in their homes.
