Care 2 Thrive Information Webinar
Across Perth, we urgently need new foster carers to be part of our Care 2 Thrive program to offer short-term, stable, nurturing homes for 12-18 months for children or teenagers with complex needs who are unable to live safely with their families.
The Care 2 Thrive program offers increased therapeutic and practical supports, specialist training and coaching in evidence-based models and programs with an enhanced tax-free foster care reimbursement. The program is based on providing the opportunity for children and young people to thrive through a return to family-based settings and supportive networks, creating the opportunity for healing through normalised childhood experiences.
If you're interested in sharing your home, heart and time with a child or young person in need, please join our free live Care 2 Thrive information session to learn exactly what's involved and whether it's the right for you.
