Requirements to become a foster parent
You'll still have support and guidance when you receive a foster placement. Kentucky has continued training and can connect new foster parents with experienced families through the Foster Parent Mentor Program.
Having access to an experienced foster family is invaluable. You'll be able to connect with other adults who have advice and can provide coaching to make your parenting journey easier.
Your local child-placing agency is one of your best sources of information and foster parenting services.
Nonprofit child welfare organizations approved by the state recruit resource parents, provide resources, and offer training and general support. When you attend the informational orientation and parent training, you'll receive books and resources that tell you more about the many available foster parent support groups.

DCCH does amazing work to help children and families in need. Many people don’t know about the outpatient therapy support or the therapeutic foster care programs. They are truly helping so many families in so many ways!

Getting good service here but if your child is here you already know it's going to be a hard road but they're better than some of the alternatives.
