170 Workers Receive Graduation Certificate From CPSFA

The Child Protection and Family Services Agency (CPSFA) hosted a graduation event that honored roughly 170 children’s home employees who received essential training during the recently completed capacity-building workshop for the residential child care sector.  At their graduation ceremony, the workers were praised for improving their skills to properly care for the children they work with.

Director of Policy, Planning, and Evaluation at CPFSA, Newton Douglas, says the program was established in two phases, which sought to improve the child care sector. The first phase of the program focused on managers and senior officers, while phase 2 targeted care staff. 

Douglas shares that the program focused on the mental, and physical health of the children in care, as well as staff. The employees who received four months of intensive training were praised for their commitment to the workshop.

Chief Executive Officer at CPFSA, Rosa-Lee Gage Grey, notes the program will help workers to understand children. Watch the report below:
