Über diesen Titel
Thinking about becoming a foster parent but not sure where to start?
In this episode of Let’s Talk About Fostering, host Faye chats with Alison, a single foster parent with Foster Care Associates, about what it’s really like at the very beginning of your fostering journey.
Alison has been fostering teenagers since 2017. She talks honestly about leaving her job after 32 years, going through the assessment and panel process, the training, and what it felt like to welcome a young person into her home for the very first time.
In this episode, we cover:
- What to think about if you’re right at the start of your fostering journey
- Why you don’t have to fit a “perfect” mould to foster
- The reality of the assessment and panel process
- What training looks like – and why you don’t need experience to begin
- How it feels to say yes to your first foster child
- The importance of support networks and community for foster carers
- Why teenagers in care need understanding, empathy and playfulness
