CONCERN provides a variety of supportive services to families such as compensation, training, and respite. CONCERN matches children with families who can best meet their needs.
It takes a special person to become a foster/adoptive parent. Opening your home to children who need your love and care is a significant contribution to making a difference in the lives of these children. Through your support and commitment, you open many doors for children allowing them to look forward to brighter futures and productive adulthood.
The first steps to becoming a foster/adoptive family include attending an informational meeting, completing a formal application, and participating in several interviews with a recruiter. The recruiter assists families in completing all of the necessary paperwork and answering a family’s questions about foster care.

Requirements to become a foster parent
You must meet minimum requirements to provide foster care in Pennsylvania. Foster parents for children in need must:
- Be a minimum of 21 years old
- Pass a criminal background check with fingerprinting
- Have time and energy to devote to fostering
- Live in a safe and healthy environment
- Prove good health through a medical examination/physical
- Maintain financial stability
- Clear all home safety requirements
- Complete required pre-service training hours
- Finish the Home Inspection
After fulfilling all requirements during the approval process, licensed foster parents can welcome a foster child into their home. To maintain a valid license, foster parents must also participate in ongoing training each year.
All adults who are living in homes with foster children in Pennsylvania must pass a required criminal background check and fingerprinting. This includes adult children who are family members living at home.
There are other, more detailed requirements for foster homes, such as having a flushing toilet and an operable phone. Prospective foster parents will learn more details during foster parent orientation.
Once you've decided to foster, you can contact a public or private foster agency or the Pennsylvania State Resource Family Association. Foster agencies screen and train prospective foster families and ensure applicants are good candidates for foster care.

Thanks for wasting my time and adding to my further disillusionment of therapy in general.

This place has some of the most unprofessional staff. The doctor here , doctor v. Doesn't listen to his clients and just repeats the same stuff over and over. He doesn't take his job serious and changes or removes medications without warning . He will interrupt you or talk over you. He will just repeat the same stuff over and over and make you feel poorly about your weight. I've reported him and no one has any solutions for me so it's either I put up with him disrespecting me just because he is a wanna be doctor or I leave therapy and meds all together.
Then the supervisor just leaves you hanging when you wanna explain how you don't feel the doctor is truly trying to help.
Thanks concern. You've really gone down hill.

Very poorly run & unprofessional. My son is one of there clients. I have left several messages for Becky Walter's my son's mobile therapist over the last 3 weeks and never received any response or the common courtesy of a return call.

The most incompetent office for health or mental health care I have ever dealt with. Multiple scheduling issues, incorrect information, med issues every month, and an unhelpful office staff that seems to not understand basic common sense let alone how to problem solve or correct issues they have created. Considering their clients are generally families handling stressful home situations, you would think they would understand how important it is to be a knowledgeable competent support. Save yourself the constant stress you will be dealing with and find better.
