• A two-parent household with no pets

• In an environment that can provide compassion, predictability, supervision, and reassurance that he is in a safe home
• With parents who have residential or professional mental health experience

Extensive support will be in place—including clinical guidance from our FFT Foster Care team, training and support, and on call assistance. As a CHR foster parent you will also receive a generous stipend to offset expenses related to the child’s care, complete health and dental coverage for the child, before and after school care (if needed), and paid respite care.
