Interested in Becoming a Resource (Foster) Parent?
DCP&P is Currently Recruiting Resource Parents and Treatment Home Parents
Both programs especially need parents who are:
- Racially/culturally sensitive, and open to accepting children from diverse backgrounds
- Open to caring for children who have experienced trauma, and often have increased behavioral/mental health/medical needs
- Open to caring for sibling groups, and maintaining connections with siblings who cannot be placed together
- Willing to care for older youth (13-17) who need caring adults who will help them learn life skills, and successfully transition into adulthood.
- Open and affirming to LGBTQIA+ children and youth
- Willing to partner with DCP&P, courts, the treatment team, community partners, and ideally the child’s family, to support reunification
