These new downloads are the first to be placed in the online Resource Library intended to help those considering foster parenting understand foster care. They cover basic requirements, the important role of a foster parent, the training and licensing process and positive parenting tips.
According to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, there are 4,371 children in Nebraska foster care as of October 2016.
KVC Nebraska is a private, nonprofit organization that recruits, trains and supports foster parents to care for children ages birth to 18. Foster families not only provide a safe and caring environment for children who have experienced abuse, neglect or other family challenges; they also help children heal from trauma and create a brighter future. Foster care gives a child and his or her birth family the opportunity to resolve conflicts or disruptions and learn health skills so the child can safely return home.
