Therapeutic Foster Parents Needed!

March 8, 2010

While there are many ways to get involved as a volunteer with KidsPeace, the most urgent need is always for individuals or couples who are willing to open their homes and lives to a child in need.

KidsPeace provides Therapeutic Foster Care (TFC). TFC agencies like KidsPeace serve children that have a mental health diagnosis. Many of the children who are referred to us have been abused or neglected in the past, and some have never had an adult who could stick with them

KidsPeace believes that these children can be best served in their own communities and within a family structure. TFC parents don’t need to be experts in child psychology, but they do need a genuine desire to help children in crisis. KidsPeace offers a high level of ongoing training and 24/7 support, as well as a stipend to cover the financial expenses of having a child in your home. We focus on fostering resiliency and increasing the protective factors that help kids succeed. We also take extra time to match children’s specific needs with the strengths and preferences of our foster families in order to ensure the best possible match.
