Children and youth are placed based on the severity of their behaviors and needs. Help make a difference in a child’s life There is a growing need for families willing to open their hearts and homes to children and teenagers who have been removed from their biological families. The reasons vary from neglect and abuse to abandonment, but the fact remains -- these young people desperately need the refuge of a loving and warm foster home. Who qualifies as a treatment foster parent? Couples or single adults committed to providing a loving home for children, to learning how to positively parent, and to providing children ample space to grow. Families offers support to children and youth who are experiencing intense mental, emotional and sever behavioral challenges in supportive and stable foster homes. Treatment foster parents demonstrate stability and maturity, and represent all ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Interested in making a difference in the life of a child? All members of the foster care family must be committed to taking on the extra responsibility of foster children. They must be willing to participate in a family assessment and become licensed through the state. Ongoing educational training is a required part of becoming a member of our team. Families receive compensation for their support and services. Please contact Growing Home Southeast for additional details on becoming a Treatment Foster Parent. Click here for contact information.
