At The Children’s Center, research shows that the ideal environment for children to grow and thrive is with a loving and nurturing birth-family. Yet, too many children come to us frightened and traumatized from homes devastated by poverty, neglect, mental and physical abuse.
• Over 14,000 Michigan children are in foster care annually
• Every 18 minutes a child is abused or neglected
• Every 28 seconds a child is placed in foster care
“Become a foster parent. It’s one of the most rewarding experiences you’ll ever encounter. As a trained foster parent, you can help change a child’s life by providing the caring support and guidance these young people need to heal, grow, and thrive,” says foster parent Ms. Dyan King. “The Detroit community needs to ensure there will always be enough caring foster families with loving homes.”
The magnitude of the urgent and sustaining needs of children and older youth in foster care and their families is great. Foster parents can help change a lifetime for a young person in foster care.
