Nexus Family Healing
When family systems break down or a crisis occurs, we’re here to help. We work tirelessly to make sure every child is cared for in a safe and secure home—whether they need short-term care while a family is in transition or a permanent place to call their own.
Because every child deserves to feel known, cared for, and valued.
Our foster families are well-trained and fully supported by our professional team of social workers and therapists. And our adoptive families are realizing the dream of becoming parents—while giving children the family they long for.
When children enter foster care due to an unsafe and/or unstable home environment, we provide foster homes to care for these kids while their families get back on their feet. We work hard with the child’s custodial team to reunite these families. When that isn’t possible, we provide adoption services that result in a loving, stable home.

Requirements to become a foster parent
There are several support services available for foster parents in Minnesota. Let's take a look at what's available:
Support Payments
Minnesotan foster parents receive a monthly basic payment to help with the care costs of the foster child. Payments vary depending on the child's age and circumstances. They start at $650 per month.
In some circumstances, foster parents can also receive a difficulty of care supplemental monthly rate. These payments help support children with physical and mental difficulties and can be up to $1,500 per month.
Medical and Dental Coverage
In Minnesota, foster children receive Medicaid coverage for their medical and dental needs.
The foster parents are responsible for arranging the child's medical care and must attend all necessary appointments to maintain their health and well-being.
Training and Support Groups
There are plenty of support groups and resources available for foster parents in Minnesota. These services offer ongoing support and an opportunity to share experiences with other people in the same situation as you.
Additional training can also help you be the best caregiver possible for your foster kid.

I don't recommend anyone to work here nor send your family to " heal". The management at Nexus is very poor, other than Franklin.
