Could you be a foster parent?
Children come into foster care with histories of neglect, trauma, or abuse. Some have been separated from siblings; others have been moved from home to home. Our foster parents are trained to provide kindness, compassion, and special care with the goal of helping children transition into permanent homes.
What it takes –
We are looking for committed, loving adults willing to train as therapeutic foster parents and care for children with mental health diagnoses.
Our most successful parents have experience with children and a heart for helping people with mental health issues. Since foster children have been removed from their parents or primary caretakers, they often have special needs. Most are age 5 or older and arrive with emotional and behavioral challenges because of abuse, neglect, or abandonment.
We need foster parents who are willing to learn about grief and loss, show compassion, introduce structure, and support the child as part of a team, which may include doctors, therapists, schools, family members, social services, and mental health agencies.
Our Process
- Fill out the screening form (using Chrome or Firefox) and we will be touch with you.
- Attend an information session
- Our foster parents get 60 hours of training as they prepare to become licensed and 10 hours annually on topics such as behavior management and trauma.
Talk to us!
We offer 24 / 7 support and competitive compensation.
