Become a Foster Parent! Foster Parent Orientation

Become a Treatment Foster Parent!

Differing Needs

Children and youth in the foster care system have often been affected by abuse, neglect or other trauma. Consequentially, some may have intensive behavioral, emotional or developmental needs. Some foster children may have ongoing medical needs. But as a resource foster parent, you will never be alone. We will connect you with resources and partnerships to ensure each child's needs are met.

We Will Make Sure You're Ready

We really need you to succeed. Even after you are trained and certified, we will work together to ensure any youth or child placed in your care is a good match for you, and you for them.

24-Hour Support

Whether or not you need us, we'll be there. Each foster care family has access to 24-hour support from an assigned team of trained professionals.

Encouraging Children to Thrive

You are a primary resource to the children and youth placed in your care. It is essential that you provide ongoing encouragement and exposure to a variety of engaging activities, experiences and opportunities that will inform their success. We will partner with you to offer individualized supports that embrace cultural identity and enhance spiritual, emotional and social functioning.
