In the foster care system, it’s not only the children who need to be supported, but the adults, as well. If you are thinking of working as a foster parent to help your community, you should never feel like you are in the process alone. As a resource family agency in Shasta County, we make it a point to support our valued foster parents with everything they need to be successful. In the end, we all have the goal of providing the best possible care for these vulnerable young people, and working together is the best way to achieve that goal.

Help Getting Started | Resource Family Agency in Shasta County

While all foster parents need support from time to time while managing this process, perhaps no time is more important than the phase when first getting started. Too many people are overwhelmed by what foster care requires, and without the right help, they just decide that it isn’t for them. As a resource family agency in Shasta County, it’s our goal to make sure all potential resource parents have the information they need to make an informed choice. Whether or not you decide to become a foster parent is up to you, but that decision should be made on a foundation of solid information.

A Place to Turn

Many foster care placements are a great fit right from the start. The foster child blends in nicely with the family, the support of the family is welcomed by the young person, and all is well. Not all placements work out this way, however, so our resource family agency in Shasta County is proud to be available as a place to turn when problems come up. Offering timely support that is based on years of experience in this field is one of the best things we can do to reach positive outcomes for both parents and children.
