Ultimately, everything we do is designed to
serve at-risk families and children; foster parent mentors play
a crucial role in this
task. They are a catalyst in our mission and a valuable part
of the treatment team. We treat our foster parents like the true
agents of change they are. Our job is to “wash their feet” and
provide them with the tools and support necessary to make a difference.
Comprehensive Clinical Training
Each foster family is taken through the nationally recognized PRIDE
mutual assessment process for up to 27 hours pre-service training.
The PRIDE program is designed to strengthen the quality of family
foster care and adoption services by providing a standardized, consistent,
structured framework for the competency-based recruitment, preparation,
and selection of foster and adoptive parents. Many PRIDE participants
say this training has become invaluable to people in all aspects
of their own lives and relationships.
24 hr Support Team & Crisis Intervention
Foster parents have ‘round-the-clock’ access to our highly
qualified treatment team. We are available to counsel you on daily
issues in working with the youth and we can be called into action
for more serious issues. Our support team is always a phone call
away and eager to serve you.
Competitive Financial Reimbursement
We believe that great responsibility comes with authority and We
Care strives diligently to be a good steward of resources. Therefore,
we ensure every foster family is provided with sufficient funds for
the children in their care.
Therapy & Counseling for Youth and Families
As just one of the professional support services we provide, counseling
services are available for the child and his/her family. Moreover,
we provide these services to foster parents who may desire a professional
to listen and counsel with them.
Medical, Dental & Mental Health Services
In addition to the per diem reimbursement, foster parents are free
from worrying about healthcare services and medications. We Care
facilitates the payment of all medical bills incurred by children
in care.
Respite/Vacation
To provide a break from the life of foster care, we offer respite
for all foster parents on a regular basis.
Special Training:
In order to accept LGBT Youth, Foster Parents must
complete an additional 40 hours of training.
