Activity 3

FOSTER CAREThe primary focus of the Foster Care program is to work closely with each foster family. A child is placed in foster care when a court determines the child's home life is dangerous, inappropriate, or unhealthy, or when the child's behaviors cannot be managed at home. The ultimate goal of foster care is to resolve family conflicts or disruptions and return the child to his or her natural family. Through the entire process, the foster parent works closely with the child's natural family and child welfare professionals to ensure that the child has a chance to blossom as a healthy, well-adjusted member of the community. Foster families provide an alternate home like setting for children who are not able to safely live with their parents. Foster parents undergo training and state licensure to ensure that they are knowledgeable about the special challenges children who are placed with them might face, and to provide them with skills to work with the child, the child's family, the social worker or case manager, and the legal system. THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN SERVED DURING FYE 6/30/11 WAS 27.
