CPR & First Aid Certification
​
Straight From the Heart offers FREE CPR & First Aid classes to foster, adoptive, kinship caregivers and their respite workers only. Participants must be 18 years or older. First Aid and CPR classes can be used to meet the licensing requirement but not the county and state 8-hour ongoing training mandate. No childcare is available -- please do not bring children or babies to class.


Picture
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. For a list of the upcoming trainings, workshops and support groups please click on the button below or call (800) 200-1222 for more information. Currently all sessions are being offered online until further notice.
