Family Solutions Services, Inc. opened its doors in July of 2006. The agency was started By Denise Driesen and Nichole Hanks. It began as an agency that provided in-home counseling services to families and children in need. Denise has been involved in the Human Services field since 1990. Nichole has been involved in the Human Services field since 1997. Both Denise and Nichole are committed to the people our agency serves. We strive to provide qualified and highly trained individuals to provide all of our services. Family Solutions Services has expanded to provide in-office therapy services, mental health assessments, adoptive home studies and Child Mental Health Waiver Services.

Our therapists are trained in Parent Child Interactive Therapy (PCIT), Life Span Integration Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Critical Incident Stress Management as well as several other therapies, too numerous to mention. Our in-home providers are all graduates of accredited colleges with a four year degree in Social Work or a related Human Services field. Each in-home provider also has a minimum of two years experience in working with people in the Human Services field. We have four office sites located in Northwest Iowa for your convenience.

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.
