Sample Supports
Sample Supports understands that there is a high value for services to be provided in the actual residence of the family. Home-based family therapy provides a vast array of benefits, allowing the client to get more out of their therapy sessions.
The environmental insights gleaned by a counselor's visit to your home speaks volumes about who you are and what you might struggle with, allowing the counselor to tailor your therapy based on your specific surroundings and needs. Plus, the ability for a counselor to see and interact with other family members (with written consent) can provide a more well rounded picture of your unique situation.
In addition, the counselor may see a clearer reality of how you and your family interact with each other since you all are in a more comfortable setting. These are just a few of the benefits of home-based family counseling. Add on convenience, privacy, and affordability, and in-home child and family services become incredibly appealing.

Requirements to become a foster parent
You must meet minimum requirements to provide foster care for children in Colorado. Foster parents for children and families must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Maintain sufficient income to support a family
- Have physical and mental capability to care for children and youth
- Pass a child abuse background and criminal background check
- Work with a treatment team and undergo future training

Prospective foster families can contact a Colorado child placement agency or your local Department of Human Services. Social workers in these child welfare agencies will provide information about Colorado's child welfare system, foster care, and the adoption process.
Social workers recommended that other adults and children in your home agree to provide long-term home care, too. If everyone is ready to welcome a new child, your local agency will help your home become an approved foster home.
