Foster Care is two-fold in its mission:

bd15169_.gif (340 bytes) to provide a safe, caring and stable environment for children removed from their parents' homes. These children present with challenging and unique needs, requiring foster parents who are trained in varied behavior modification techniques and who actively advocate for the children to make sure their mental and physical health, educational, and social needs are met.

bd15169_.gif (340 bytes) to provide extensive support to both the foster child and the foster parents to insure the needs of the child and the foster parents are met to the highest standard. Trained licensing workers and foster care workers recruit, train, supervise, and provide support to foster parents in their efforts to provide stable and nurturing homes to the children in their care. Caseworkers meet with foster parents and children regularly to develop behavior plans, and to assess the specific needs of the children. Caseworkers provide, or seek supportive services to best meet those needs.
