Children in care need the loving supports of Foster Parents to help them face life challenges. Therefore, we aim to provide educational opportunities for Foster Parents to expand their knowledge and increase their skills to be able to support each child’s unique needs.
Community Bridge offers training and support in various communities in the NorthEast BC to:
-
- Potential Foster Parents
- New Foster Parents
- Long-term Caregivers
