Each foster youth is provided with a trauma and culturally informed treatment plan designed to provide the best possible out of home care. Respite care provides an excellent opportunity to build lasting relationships with children and other care providers, and gain knowledge and experience of the foster care world while providing a direct service to the children in our community.ĭIUP provides a Continuum of Care services through the STRTP program. Respite Care Providers serve foster children who are in need of care for short periods of time when foster families occasionally require alternate care for the foster children in their homes. Respite care provides nurturing adults the opportunity to care for children without the daily commitment foster parenting requires. Foster parents who have completed the requirements and training become resource families and have the ongoing support of DIUP.
Each child receives culturally sensitive provisional services aimed at empowering their status. A comprehensive team provides a support system for the resource parents, birth parents, and child through parent education, advocacy, therapy, and counseling. We receive referrals from licensed welfare agencies and juvenile courts. Social Workers, LCSW's, Professional Trainers, and Administrative Staff work together to ensure all children attain the highest level of social and emotional competency, to enhance their ability to handle present and future challenges, responsibilities, and opportunities. Dangerfield Institute of Urban Problems' Resource Family Approval (RFA) was formed out of the need for qualified foster parents to provide safe, caring, and nurturing environments to children waiting for placement in our community.
