THIS MANUAL WILL HELP PREPARE YOU FOR LIFE AFTER FOSTER CARE.
“Nathan and Nicole are brother and sister. They have been in foster care for several years because their parents have been unable to take care of them. Nicole is 17 and lives in a group home. Nathan is 15 and lives in a foster home. They regularly get to see each other at the DYFS Office. Two weeks ago they were given a new DYFS Case Manager, also called a “case worker” or “worker.”
