Self Care for Foster Parents

Caring for foster children can be an emotionally and physically demanding job. In addition to the challenges of providing care for a child with trauma, foster parents also need to juggle visits from social workers, appointments with therapists, and court dates.

Given the demands of the job, it’s important for foster parents to make self-care a priority. Taking time for yourself – even if it’s just a few minutes each day – can help you to recharge and cope with the demands of foster parenting.

By making self-care a priority, you can help ensure that you’re able to meet the needs of your foster children.
