Trainers and Volunteers
Ms. Rebecca Talley
Ms. Talley brings a wide range of training and educational experience as the director of Foster & Kinship Care Education (FKCE). She has a master's degree in public health from Loma Linda University, and a master's degree in psychology from Northcentral University. In addition to her duties as director of the programs, she teaches in the psychology department at Victor Valley College(VVC) and facilitates parenting classes through a First 5 grant at California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB). Rebecca also works with San Bernardino County Schools to facilitate Positive Prevention (HIV/AIDS education) workshops for public school teachers throughout San Bernadino and Riverside Counties.
Rebecca is currently working on her doctorate in psychology with a focus in health psychology. Her dissertation is being coordinated through the CUIDAR program at CSUSB (Dr. Laura Kamptner), in partnership with VVC (Dr. Lori Kildal) and the Alliance for Education (Mr. Marcelino Garza). Her topic is identifying barriers to completion of parenting classes. (We want to know why parents drop out of parenting classes and believe the reason is more than transportation or scheduling conflicts.)
Rebecca has two children and a too-much-fun grandson.
