Are you interested in becoming a foster parent?
Foster Care is a temporary option for children who are not able to live with their birth families due to a range of different circumstances.
It's never too early to teach your children about personal safety.
We recommend all parents and guardians teach their children about their body in an age appropriate manner. One of the ways we can protect our children is by equipping them with the knowledge to know what they should and should not tolerate, as well as what they should do when those situations occur.
If you suspect the abuse of a child has occurred or is occurring, please report it now!

A common child abuse myths is that strangers abuse children more than persons known to the child. Recent data has however shown that those who the child knows often are the one who commit acts of abuse against the child.
We encourage parents and guardians to be vigilant, take precautions and make a report when a child says he/she has been abused or mistreated.
