In Episode #114, we chat with DFS Director Trenee Parker and WrapAround Delaware Foster Parent Recruitment Director Haydee Rodriguez about foster parent recruitment and retention. Together, we discuss how a foster parent is recruited, what their training looks like and how a CASA can best work with a foster parent.
If any CASA knows someone who is interested in becoming a foster parent, please have them contact Haydee directly: [email protected]
Also mentioned in our chat is funding that can be offered to youth in care. If your child is in Kent or New Castle Counties, please ask your Coordinator to use Office of the Child Advocate Funds. If your child has a Sussex County Judge, please consider taking advantage of the Friends of Sussex CASA Programs:
