Requirements to become a foster parent
Your local DCF or foster agency offers various services for foster children and families. Parents have access to training and educational resources as well as support groups.
Foster children also have health insurance covered. The DCF provides foster families with a stipend to cover care needs like food and board. The state also offers a clothing allowance every three months that helps to reimburse parents.
A case worker visits resources families every other month or as needed, and children in foster care are also assigned a social worker. These resources are invaluable points of contact for foster parents.
Local support organizations provide further support, such as resources and helplines. Foster families in Massachusetts also form groups to assist one another, share stories, and give advice. It's an excellent opportunity to create new connections and learn more as a parent.

I love Mentor. I am a foster parent and love all the support. Everyone working here cares about children. If you are considering being a foster parent, this the place to start.
