Support for Foster Parents |
The founders of Hope’s Closet are foster parents who observed a cycle of brokenness as they watched families repeatedly lose child after child. They wanted to make a difference, break the cycle and be a catalyst for change to restore families, when possible. They asked themselves how they would like to be supported as foster parents and developed a program that would support foster families.
Inspire: Mom's Night Out
On the 1st Friday of every month, Hope’s Closet hosts an event for moms to connect with other moms. We want to build a community of support and encouragement that is refreshing for foster and foster-adoptive moms. Click here to sign up each month!
Inspire: Dad's Night Out
Foster and foster-adoptive dads get together quarterly for a night out, typically involving hanging out and eating wings or pizza. We encourage them to build a refreshing community of support and encouragement. For more information, contact Maddie at maddie@hopesclosetohio.org.
Equip Training
Equip is our monthly training opportunity for foster parents. We offer 2 to 3 classes a month each focusing on equipping our foster parents to parent their children to the best of their abilities. Each class offers 1.5 hours of Continuing Education credit hours. Two classes are offered through Zoom and the third is in-person at Hope's Closet. If you have questions or would like more information please email our Director of Foster Parent Support, Maddie Wentling: maddie@hopesclosetohio.org.
