Foster parents and relative caregivers are dedicated, informed and committed advocates for children. They spend time answering their children’s questions and making sure their children have everything they need. What happens when a foster parent or relative caregiver has a question or needs a resource? Who is there to support foster parents and other caregivers?
The Clark County Services Foster Parent Champion (FPC) Program was developed to be that support system for caregivers with one main goal of Making Caregivers’ Lives Easier. This includes calling caregivers upon each and every placement to ensure they have all the resources they need, helping new caregivers navigate the child welfare system, assisting with general parenting strategies, and sharing information on upcoming training and community events.
The FPC Program is available for foster parents, relatives and fictive kin caregivers.
Foster Parent Champions are currently licensed caregivers that demonstrate quality parenting on a daily basis. They are excited to share their experiences and help you ensure your home remains a positive environment for children. The Foster Parent Champions know the value of quality homes that are safe, nurturing and caring for children.
The Foster Parent Champions hold foster care licenses for children ages birth – 18 years. Their licensure experiences include being foster families, relative and fictive kin families as well as an ICPC family.
Nevada's Just in Time Training is a web based service program designed to connect foster parents, kinship or other caregivers with training, peer experts and other resources. Questions are answered and practical solutions to care for children are discussed - all from the comfort of your home or office.
