SEEKING EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL FOSTER PARENTS – ARE YOU READY TO CHANGE THE LIFE OF A CHILD?

Sometimes, difficult circumstances prevent a birth family from being able to provide for their children. By ensuring, a child has a warm, loving, tolerant, structured family home; Easterseals UCP’s treatment foster parents can help them continue to grow and develop until a permanent plan can be determined.

Youth need a home and a family that can support and champion them throughout the fostering process. We are seeking treatment parents ready to take on the challenges of parenting children with significant trauma and related behavioral and emotional difficulties. Research shows that children who receive treatment in family homes vs. group care environments have significantly better outcomes.

Who we are: Easterseals UCP is the premiere treatment foster care agency in North Carolina. Because we recognize that our professional treatment parents are the most important members of the youth’s treatment team, we offer the most generous compensation plan in the state. Additionally, we provide 24/7 crisis response from our well trained clinicians and qualified professional staff, ongoing training with multiple evidence-based models and daily or weekly supervision in your home depending on the needs of the youth.

Easterseals UCP offers difficulty of care reimbursement up to $3,400 per month depending on the needs of the child and skills/performance of the professional foster parent.
