Be a Home for Healing by becoming a Treatment Foster Parent
Last year, more than 12,000 Missouri youth were in foster care as the result of trauma through no fault of their own. Some of these youngsters have elevated behavioral health issues resulting from their trauma and require compassionate, committed adults to provide a home for them to begin healing.
Cornerstones of Care’s mission is to partner to build safe, healthy communities. Treatment foster families help these children feel safe and then help them heal.

I wanted to invest my energy into working with kids. I had the space, and I had the ability. Fostering was an area I wanted to explore.”
