I have been receiving many emails and phone calls with caregivers who are trying to find the time and childcare to attend the required trainings to remain licensed.
Any suggestions or comments welcome here!

How To Increase Respite Providers?
Respite is a much needed service to fostering families. It allows foster parents to take a break, which helps prevent burn out. Respite offers birth children of the foster home quality time
with their parents. It also gives the foster children a break.
Hopefully, the foster children will be spending a weekend with other
foster children; children they can relate to.
A poorly planned respite weekend can cause more stress for everyone involved: foster family, respite provider, and the foster children. How do you prepare for respite in your home?
If you have not considered providing Respite to another foster family what are the barriers?

Homes For Siblings
Have you ever considered being a home for siblings? Many of us are already providing placement for siblings in our homes. Why do you foster siblings?
For those of you who are licensed for one it may not be an option but for those of you who are licensed for 2 or more what are the barriers that are keeping you from taking in siblings?
