Webinar, March 2, 2021, 6:00 p.m., with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families. The Department of Children and Families (DCF) works in partnership with families and communities to keep children safe from abuse and neglect.
* In most cases, DCF is able to provide supports and services to keep children safe with parents or family members.
* When necessary, DCF provides foster care or finds new permanent families for children through kinship, guardianship or adoption. Children are sometimes temporarily placed in foster care because their parents aren’t able to give them the care that they need.
* The Department of Children & Families (DCF) first tries to place children with relatives. When that’s not possible, they enter foster care.
* There are all kinds of foster parents. You can be single or married, own a home or rent one.
* There’s a need for foster parents across Massachusetts, from all diverse backgrounds.
