When these trafficked minors are discovered by a police action, many are taken to a therapeutic, residential treatment facility where they experience extensive treatment to cope with the trauma they’ve experienced. After completing the six-month program, many of these kids don’t have a safe home to go to, and since they’re underage, they enter foster care.
Unfortunately, the average foster parent isn’t equipped to help them. That’s why we provide our Restoration Foster Parents with extensive pre-service and regularly scheduled training that specifically addresses the needs of trafficking survivors.
Parents also receive unprecedented wrap-around in-home supports for themselves, their family, and the child they’re fostering. Their restoration foster care support team includes 24-hour on-call assistance, a therapist, a trauma-informed specialist and behavioral support staff.
Each month, there are several interactive, live streaming webinars to learn more about foster care and what it takes to become a foster parent. In each webinar, you’ll get an overview of all of Arrow’s foster care programs. And because the webinars are interactive, you can have all your questions answered.
