Foster Parent Training in Brantford
I had an opportunity recently to present the workshop “Working With Birth Parents” to a welcoming group of foster parents affiliated with the Children’s Aid Society of Brant. I extend thanks to Carrie Davidson and Keri Brook for their efforts in arranging and organizing this training event. The legal responsibility of the CAS is to provide care for children who, for a variety of reasons, are unable to live with their birth family. The preferred goal for most of these children is to live temporarily within a foster home and work towards reunification of the family. A respectful and supportive relationship between the foster parents and birth parents can provide an essential ingredient in the reunification process.
