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.

There’s a lot of issues and nobody to get straight answers from I’ve had a few therapists 1 of which it’s my opinion she was using her job to fix her medical problems and knew she was gonna leave cause she owned her own private practice and when she left CHR she didn’t even tell me or help me find a replacement 😡☹️🤦🏻♂️ CHR wanted me to join a group of men to do group therapy but of my own personal issues I’m coping w/dealing with daily and when I contacted the CHR East Hartford School Street office I was given a woman therapist whom didn’t return my calls nor showed up to the session which in turn gave me her Boss who took me on but as nice as she was we weren’t on the same schedule and now I’m trying to find another therapist but CHR in the Manchester office gave me a 800# which won’t allow to upload all my issues and will only allow 1 🤦🏻♂️ the number isn’t easy to navigate it’s frustrating and confusing when I called the main office of CHR again was told by reception they couldn’t help me !

Still waiting for a therapist after many months. The therapists NEVER stay,it's like a revolving door. It's infuriating and makes me want to scream. GET YOUR $%#@%$# ACT TOGETHER.

Have been going to CHR for years. My first therapist was very good but he needed to leave to spread his wings. The second therapist wasn't very valuable in my opinion but I stuck it out. She had an issue with the fact I was an atheist. With the third counselor even though he was a very nice man it was more like I was taking the role of his therapist. I asked CHR for a new therapist, it's been months with no response. I told my old therapist he's a great guy but my treatment has stalled since the last two therapists. CHR will not get back to me and I don't know what to do. In the end got ghosted. Not person centered care.

never calls back... trying to get med increase they refuse when im still in distress. drs here dont care. UPDATE: they called and didn't care about me at all he only said I cant swear or get upset all he cares about. My primary care dr upped my meds for me to see if we can get me more stable. Leaving here for HVCC ASAP. Sad when your PCP has to adjust your mental meds when you go to a place that is made for it.. When I acted the same way at my pcp office they calmed me down and talked to me like they cared and sympathized. Chr does not. My dr works 2 days a week wrights nothing down and tells me nothing of the pills he is putting me on

I'll be honest, if I could give a 0 star I would. I was stuck with the intake chick and she was nice but wasn't for me and said I was getting a new therapist in the beginning. it felt like I was talking to a friend almost. The psychiatrist was supposed to reschedule me and didn't. Being a mental health patient this place made me lose all trust in therapists to the point where I refuse to go again and get my meds from my primary care doctor. Don't get me wrong the people are nice but it's so inefficient and unorganized. If you have a second option I'd advise looking into them more.
