Adopting Teens and Tweens online course will enable prospective adoptive parents to make realistic, well-informed decisions about their capacity and readiness to parent teen or tween by adoption by providing education about core issues in adoption, as required by the Adoption Regulations. AEP is a required prerequisite of this course.

 

Course Description

AEP is a required prerequisite of this course. This course is funded by MCFD for eligible participants. See below for more information on funding eligibility. 

Teens and Tweens Online course offers a thorough introduction and education to the parental joys, challenges, and typical behaviours connected to teen and tween adoptions. 

The course is designed to build on learning obtained during the AEP Online and as such, participants are expected to have completed the AEP Online or a face-face AEP in their community as a pre-requisite of this course.

This five week course has 4 modules, with a new module opening up each week.  Each module will be open for 2 weeks, opening on the Thursday and closing 2 weeks later on the Wednesday.  This should allow participants plenty of time to complete the coursework and assignments.  Coursework demands approximately 5 hours a week of your time. The course also includes two live online discussions.

Lessons are delivered through an engaging mix of video, audio, writing, and group discussion. Participants will benefit from working with experienced facilitators as well as a strong support team.

*Note: This course includes 2 mandatory live online discussions. The 1-hour live online discussions are typically held during weekday evenings.  If this will be a problem for you, please contact the AEP-Online Coordinator.
