Interested in learning about foster care or even becoming a foster parent?

You're in the right place.

There are over 500,000 kids in the United States Foster Care System each year and YOU can make a difference. (Yes, YOU!) 

Taking care of these kids takes a village, and we're thrilled to have you be a part of ours. 

Whether your role is as a donor, volunteer, foster parent, voter, social worker, or even if you're not sure what your role is yet... we WELCOME YOU. 

Join the Friends of Foster Care Training to learn more about the Foster Care system, how to be an effective advocate, and what it means to be a village member. 

[Interested in becoming a foster parent? We can help with that too! Start here.] 

This training is open to people who care about Foster Care and want to learn more and is protected under the  Foster Care Aware trademark.

When humans with trauma histories act out, there is typically more going on than what’s visible on the surface. Beyond the Behavior is an educational training generously brought to you The Barry Robinson Center, in partnership with ATTACh and Tidewater Friends of Foster Care, that dives into what’s going on below the surface to give foster parents, care takers, and professionals additional perspective and tools to stay calm in high stress moments and support the long-term healing of kids in foster care.
