Driven by the mission of focusing on the forgotten in our communities, Nicole Mays-Jackson founded 1 Care Premier Services in 2015 to provide a comprehensive experience of care for individuals who foster and/or adopt children and provide care to persons with intellectual disabilities. Through her passion, knowledge and in-depth understanding and experience of home and community-based services, Nicole is reengineering the systemic structure of how fostering, adoption, therapeutic services and the care profession operates.
Inspired by her own experiences working in both the public and private sectors, and as a past observer of how care was provided to other families she previously worked with, Nicole sought out to disrupt the status quo of how individuals and families experience home and community-based services. Her recognition of the void in the market of barrier free, ongoing support and resources specifically and intentionally provided to families and caregivers within these systems led her to address the gap by designing a comprehensive service model that centers families through continuous engagement.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Adults who are new to the fostering process sometimes feel overwhelmed and wonder if they will have support on their journey. Your child-placing agency is the first resource. Social services caseworkers provide aspiring foster parents with various types of support and connections. These include free educational training programs, helplines, and support groups.
It is important that foster parents build their individual support network, too. Connecting with other foster families with more experience is an excellent place to begin. Texas groups offer foster parent meetups; you can search online for the closest one.
The Texas Foster Family Association provides state training, a regional directory of support services, a summer training conference, and more. Membership benefits include getting access to foster care professionals and learning more about ways to become better caregivers. Children of TFFA members can also get assistance through the Scholarship Fund.
Austin Angels is another support organization that strives to assist foster parents and Texas foster children. They offer care packages and gifts for foster children and their caregivers, mentorship options, and education, among other resources. Foster children and teens can learn valuable skills that help prepare them for independent living, as well.
