Foster Parent Updates and Support Group Schedule

Foster Parent Updates are one of the ways that MDCPS communicates valuable information to our foster parents. That includes policy updates, support group schedules, resources, and other relevant information.

Each month, the Foster Parent Liaison emails scheduled support groups to our foster parents. The scheduled meetings will count towards the ongoing training hours that foster parents need to renew their foster care license each year.

If you aren’t receiving the update emails and want to be added to the list or if you would like to learn more about starting a support group in your area, please email Olevia Billips for more information.
