An important sign of strength in a community is the way it cares for the most vulnerable in its midst, and it is in this same spirit that Family Resources cares for, serves, and supports the children in our Foster Group Care program.
The children in these programs are survivors. They are resilient. And in all of the ways that matter, they are doing the best they can with the tools they’ve been given. And so we make it our mission to give them better tools to build a strong foundation for life.
We walk alongside these kids and help to get them back on track. In our care, they develop the behavioral habits necessary to return home or to a lower level of care. This begins by maintaining an environment that provides for their safety, security, care and well-being. When a past resident becomes a good neighbor, family member, parent, and citizen, then we know we have achieved what we set out to accomplish.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Many new parents are worried they'll be on their own if they decide to foster. That's not true; you have tons of support on your side.
You have the Iowa Department of Human Services (DHS). Your local DHS recruits and approves families for fostering and adoption. They also place children with approved parents.
The Iowa Foster & Adoptive Parents Association has handbooks, contact phone numbers, information on training and case plans, useful PDFs for foster parents, and more online.
You also have your local child-placing agency for assistance. They're licensed and approved to train parents and place children in homes. You can find information on how to navigate the legal system or tips for working with birth parents, for example.
Many state non-profits dedicate themselves to assisting foster youth and the families caring for them. They may help with basic care, such as clothing or food, or educate parents on specific topics.

Google insisted I leave a review so I did. I have not been here but I'm sure the employees and the staff are really super nice people!

5 Stars thus far.. we'll see how it goes... I never stayed there however, they picked me to assist me with Rapid Rehousing ( third party & it took almost 3 months of being on the coordinated entry list to get a call from anyone).. the lady who is helping me is pretty nice.. she seems to be on top of things as well. They have tons of resources if you're an actual client of theirs, then of course they have more.. will update once my process is complete. BTW just in case anyone isn't familiar.. they help mostly domestic violence survivors, which I am.. also I'm not from the QC area or Iowa..I got displaced and ended up in a (horrible) shelter here.. just to give you an idea of the back story..
* Only down side too is that you have to meet at the Family Resources location & it can prove difficult to go bk and forth of you don't know the area/have transportation... It would be great if they could help with that or meet you somewhere... Like the shelter you're in etc.

Seats were crowded. But good for the program we wanted to see.

I was there and they kicked me out because one of the clients told them I threatened them

I have never had an employer who cared so little for our physical safety. "Mandatory" trainings on dealing with violent clients were never given and they would routinely put us in vulnerable positions with clients known to be violent. Admins do nothing but sit in their offices and collect checks. Do not work or send your children here- it's not safe. Clients assault staff and other clients with frequency and admins dgaf. They also don't really provide any resources or training to help the counselors, just hire people at min wage and are like "here's a bunch of troubled, possibly violent kids to entertain with 0 money or support."
