The Saskatchewan Foster Families Association (SFFA) is launching a public awareness campaign in the Prince Albert area to encourage interested individuals and families to consider fostering vulnerable infants and sibling groups so they can stay together and in their community.
SFFA is a community-based organization that provides support and training for prospective and approved foster parents across Saskatchewan. It delivers training through a globally-recognized program to support foster families to provide a home environment that is safe, caring and respectful.
“We were the first in Canada to begin providing our world-class training program for foster parents online,” Social Services Minister Paul Merriman said. “While making the training more convenient for busy families has resulted in a recent increase in the number of approved foster homes, the need for more foster families remains significant. I urge Prince Albert area residents to look into becoming a foster parent – it’s a wonderful way to give back.”
“There are needs for all kinds of individuals and families to come together and help foster vulnerable infants and sibling groups,” Davies said. “I first became a foster parent 35 years ago and I have to say that the program has evolved into a highly supportive network to provide the best care for vulnerable children while their families are in crisis. The one thing that hasn’t changed, however, is that the program is based on individuals and families helping other families.”
For more information about foster families in Saskatchewan or what is required to become a foster parent, please call the SFFA at 1-800-667-7002 or visit their website at www.saskfosterfamilies.ca.
