Opening your home and your heart
Welcoming a child into your home and your heart means joining a supportive network dedicated to helping that child navigate and heal from challenging family situations. These situations may have involved emotional, physical, or psychological difficulties. The nurturing environment you provide can play a crucial role in helping the child flourish and develop into a compassionate and happy adult.
What it takes to be an Alternative Care Provider
You don’t need to be a “super parent” to provide care for a child. What is important is having a positive, loving attitude and a willingness to learn about and understand the unique needs of the child coming into your home.
Individuals or couples, whether with children or without, from both rural and urban areas, can become an alternative care provider. People from all ethnic, racial, or cultural backgrounds are welcome.
To explore whether alternative care providing is a good fit for you and your family, please reach out to us by visiting our contact page.
