Requirements to become a foster parent
You must meet minimum requirements to provide foster care for children in Connecticut. Before you start, educate yourself and reach out to a foster care agency. Social workers recommend that you and other family members in your home feel ready before starting your foster journey. Caring for a foster child takes time, patience, and persistence.
Contact your local licensed child-placing agency or attend an orientation meeting to learn more about what fostering entails. They will inform you about foster parent requirements, common obstacles you might face, and unique challenges among foster children. All foster kids have experienced trauma. Training teaches foster parents how best to help foster children manage their feelings and feel secure.
You must meet minimum state requirements to qualify as a foster care provider in Connecticut. Foster parents must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Offer a safe living environment
- Pass a police and FBI background check
- Maintain sufficient income to care for a family
- Complete the 10-week training program
- Provide a separate bed for the foster child
- Complete the Home Study process
- Have a clean driving record (pass a DMV check)
Kids of the same gender in a similar age range may share a bedroom.
Contact the Connecticut Department of Children and Families or a local child-placing agency for additional questions about foster parent requirements.

CHR offers treatment services for substance abuse, mental illness and employment search. Their staff ranges from excellent to poor in professionalism. They are not prepared to assist executives in employment, don't understand what B2B or B2C means. They can't relate to people from other cultures. If you are from New York and make an innocent joke, the type you would find on SNL, they could accuse you of sexual harassment. Very Puritanical, and not becoming of a mental health institution which should not be judgmental but rather should provide support, understanding and care. They are also severely understaffed - not a good thing for those considering hurting themselves and others.

Staff was rude and the male doctor made me feel uncomfortable. Had a male nurse come in the room to snicker at my situation, I will never forget my experience.

Kelly who answers the phones and deals with our Dr ‘s to get our prescriptions straight for us is absolutely a pleasure. She goes above and beyond her position. I can’t say enough regarding this woman with her compassion her willingness to help and even her humorous ways when things get rough she always is there to cheer you up in the time of distress while trying to get your meds straightened out. I just want to say Kelly Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Thank you
Amy
