Our experienced foster care staff will guide you through each step in becoming a foster parent; answering your questions, providing information and assisting you with the application and licensing process.

One child or two? Foster parents can choose whether they want to provide a home for one child or more. Or maybe a sibling group calls out to you. You will be asked to identify the ages and genders you are most comfortable with and the types of child(ren) for which you would like to provide care.

Upon the placement of a child or youth, foster parents are supported 24/7 by Intermountain Staff. Staff assist and support foster parents in implementing treatment interventions designated on a child's or youth's treatment plan.
