FAQ - Parent Education Classes

In the fall of 2024, the Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS) mailed letters to parents who once had an open dependency and/or severance case.

Who teaches the classes and what are their qualifications?

The Arizona Supreme Court has established standards for Parent Education classes, including minimum qualifications for program presenters.  The program must be conducted by at least one presenter who possesses a graduate degree in a related field and has relevant experience working in the areas of family law, family protective orders, child welfare, family dynamics, and domestic violence issues.
