About this service
Foster families provide a stable, supportive, temporary home for children at a time when parents and caregivers are facing challenges and working to provide a safe home.
We are committed to ensuring that children grow up in their culture, as such, we strive to ensure culturally appropriate placements for children and youth in our care. Our foster families are from all cultures and socio-economic backgrounds, and include all types of family composition (single or partnered, LGBT2SQ+, with or without children).
Wed like to introduce you to two of our foster families: the Leask/Cooke family who have heart-warming, multi-generational connection with fostering, and the Laramy family who have been providing care for children and youth in our care for over fifteen years.
All of our foster parents have access to a variety of supports, including peer support from the Durham Foster Parent Association (FPA).
