Helping parents understand what feelings and moods are normal and what might need a little extra attention.
Becoming a mom changes you forever — and that includes your mental and emotional state of being.
When we started looking into fostering just under a year ago, we knew absolutely nothing about the system, the process, the (amazing) people or how to begin the process. We began talking to everyone we met and learned that there are so many opportunities to help and be part of this incredible community.
Like any organization, we have found that Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin Community Services
has endless possibilities to help make a difference.
Depending on what your family has decided is the best fit, it could take some time for a child to find their way to you, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait to become part of the foster community. Heck, you don’t even need to be a foster parent to be part of the community!!
Here are a couple ways you can get involved today:
