Foster Care

Professionally Trained Foster Parents

​Our foster parents are cross-trained in mental health, disability services, child development, and behavioral supports. Each foster parent is trained by a professional provider who has experience providing behavioral intervention in a variety of settings. Sample Supports Youth Services staff have extensive experience in utilizing integrated treatment plans and training in mental health, behavioral interventions, trauma, substance abuse and disabilities.
