Summary:

"In this video, foster parents discuss the rewards and challenges of their role and offer personal insight into the complex experiences of foster children. Children in the foster care system face a complicated range of issues, including abandonment, anger, and loss. Dealing with these issues can be challenging for foster parents, although the role also comes with great rewards. The foster parents interviewed discuss topics such as dealing with birth parents, maintaining a personal support system, and preparing for the child's return to his or her birth parents. By watching this video, you will learn about the challenges and rewards of being a foster parent; hear personal stories of real foster families that will enlighten your work with this population; understand how foster children feel both anger at and love for their birth parents; and develop a working knowledge of the main goals foster parents have for their children, including maintaining a connection with the birth parents and supporting the children's eventual return. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." Supplied by publisher.
