Foster & Kinship Parent Resources
Let us meet you where you are today
We want to ensure you have the encouragement and tools you need during difficult transitions. Use the form below to connect with our team and let us know more about your situation.
“Having a strong community around us when we accepted a new placement is the most tangible love I’ve ever felt. They anticipated our needs when I couldn’t even figure out what I needed. We never could have been healthy foster parents without it.”
Can we help equip your friends and family to wrap around you?
CFK's Wraparound Training is an opportunity to equip those who want to support your family. The training will include information on what it means to be a foster parent and practical ways that family members, friends, and church members can 'wrap around' you and lend support and encouragement. Interested in learning more or hosting a Wraparound Training for your people? Click the link below to get started.
One of our favorite ways to support foster families is through ‘It’s Good to Gather’ events. These are special dinners and outings where foster parents can gather to connect and lift one another up.
Check out one of our ‘It’s Good to Gather’ events we held at First Tee Greater Charlotte. This one was for the whole family!
