About Foster Care
Do You ... ?
See yourself as caring, patient and flexible?
See all behavior as a form of communication?
Believe that relationships and respect have a positive influence on child development?
Believe that children deserve to maintain their relationships, cultural connections, and spiritual beliefs?
If you want to make the difference in the life of a child, then fostering may be right for you!
We are looking for Caregivers who are:
Adaptable and Flexible
The world of fostering is an ever-changing environment, and we need caregivers who can easily embrace new experiences, ideas and relationships.
Successful foster parents will adapt their parenting style to meet the direct need of the child.
Trauma-Informed
A large number of the children you will be caring for have special needs, and require specific interventions based on their developmental level.
Trauma impacts behaviour, we need caregivers who can recognize trauma, regulate and reframe.
Available
As a member of the professional team closely involved with the child you will be caring for, our foster parents attend many meetings in the home, and in the community.
Foster parents must be available during the day to attend all meetings and appointments, as they are the best advocates for the child.
