To provide support for the needs of the entire\u00a0family, in addition to 24-hour on-call services and crisis response, extensive training is offered to all\u00a0Foster Parents. They will work as a member of a team of families, social workers, and other\u00a0professionals to help prepare a child to return to his\/her birth family, or to be adopted.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the training sessions, or on opening your home and heart to these deserving\u00a0children, please contact Kimberly Hierholzer, St. Lawrence County Foster Care Recruitment and\u00a0Training Specialist at (315)229-3481.
