Positive psychology meets Grandmother wisdom: Developing free foster parent training curriculum for Texas foster agencies.
Our mission at Positive Fostering is to develop foster parent training curriculum, based on positive psychology, that will be given to the State of Texas for free.
Goal 1: Distillation of complex positive psychology theories into lay terms and skills best suited for foster parent training curriculum while ensuring the design seamlessly accommodates state and local legal requirements in constant flux.
Goal 2 (stretch goal): Develop a 60-day curriculum that teaches at-risk foster children critical life skills and wellness practices by targeting higher risk points in life, developmental and life transitions, with an overall focus on trajectory improvement.
Positive Fostering provides free to use foster parent training curriculum to all licensed Texas foster agencies, while developing summer camp length curriculum to provide at-risk foster children a set of critical life skills and wellness practices that will serve them well in life.
My name is Ryan McClary, and I am retiring from 23-years of military service with a strong will to chase my dream to develop foster parent training curriculum, based on positive psychology, that will be given to the State of Texas for free. Then, I will spend the rest of my life improving the lives of foster children and the training of foster parents.
