Becoming a foster parent is a very special decision to make. It is not a job—it is a way to provide outreach in the community, and help youth through the many difficult challenges of developing and maturing into young adults. The foster care program at Applewood Centers provides homes to youth of all ages who have behavioral and/or mental health issues. Unfortunately, many come from situations where there was neglect, abuse, and unsafe environments. As a result, the foster youth in our program are in need of adults to show they care and provide guidance, support, and love.
