Many of our high needs children are going to out-of-county group homes or just not getting the services they require. These young people (through no fault of their own) have been abused, neglected and/or traumatized. They need therapeutic help, understanding, and commitment in order to heal - grow - survive.
The most qualified people are probably seeking this kind of work as we speak, but don’t know where to look. Those best suited for our specialty parent therapist positions have experience with children above and beyond parenting their biological children. At least one adult in the home needs to be a full time parent. The $2400 per month, per child, compensation is mostly tax free. Family Care Network provides quality training and support. Would you please forward this request to everyone you know via email, face book, website, blog, twitter, or through your other local groups and ask them to forward it too? We must get these kids into caring homes before the need becomes more critical, and placement more difficult.
I am prepared to speak where ever I am invited. I sure would appreciate it if everyone would join me in this effort to connect these kids with the homes they so desperately need.
Many thanks,
