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.

If you have another choice go with it. I wish the therapist could really help you, but your just a number nothing more to them.

Extremely unprofessional organization!!!
We took the time off from our jobs to take our daughter on her appointment with CHR, only to be told after 20 minutes of waiting that they are full for the day, and we need to reschedule. Why weren't we notified beforehand, especially since this appointment had to do with refilling her prescription? Now we are desperate to find a doctor soon who will take her as a new patient and handle her meds.
Note: This is not the first time we have experienced CHR's unprofessional behavior.

Receptionist does not talk to those who call in asking for information like human beings. If you don't want to work in mental health or with the community, find a new job. You are working with a population that deserves compassion, not a complete lack of basic dignity. Realize the importance of the position you are in working at CHR even as a receptionist or find a job where treating others with respect isn't a prerequisite.

This is one of the most disorganized agencies in the state in my opinion and why give some one Hopes if instead all they did was to add stress to the situation I'm in .
