What skills are needed to foster therapeutically?

To apply to become a Foster Parent with Flourish you will need to be flexible, honest, and resilient, have an open mind to learning new things and new ways of understanding things, and be able to consider a range of children so that, with our training and support, you can fully understand the difficulties these children have experienced, and have an active role in their healing process. The most important thing is that you can see the potential in every young person, be reliable through the tough times, celebrate the good times and offer a secure, loving and caring home for a child.
