Respite Care
Not ready to foster full-time, but you'd still like to help? Consider becoming a respite care provider!
Respite care is a vital service for our foster families and the children in their care. If a family ever needs a break or has an emergency, respite care providers can offer short term care, keeping the children for a night, a weekend, or even a couple weeks. Respite care helps prevent burnout among foster parens and increases the longevity and stability of child placements.
Providing respite care is great for those looking to ease in to fostering or those who want to help for short, planned time frames. You can be a part-time grandparent, a fun aunt or uncle, or someone with a big heart and an extra bed!
