No foster parent does it alone: How we found support

Megan Massey, Licensed foster parent Mar 06, 2013

 

My husband and I quickly found out that to be successful as foster parents, you need lots of support — no one does it alone. We found support by reaching out to family, friends, the community, other foster parents and the staff at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin Community Services. Watch this video to learn about the resources that were available to us as foster parents.

At any given time, as many as 7,000 children are in foster care in Wisconsin. As the largest provider of foster care programming in the state, Children’s Wisconsin offers high levels of support to foster and adoptive families.  View more articles from Megan Massey
