Welcome to SPARK: Supporting Parents and Advocating Resilience in Kids
Stepping into the world of foster parenting is like stepping into a fire – it can be intense, unpredictable, and at times, overwhelming. But within that fire, there’s also warmth, light, and the potential for incredible transformation.
Here at RISE, we understand the unique joys and challenges of fostering. SPARK is a community built by foster parents, for foster parents, offering a safe and supportive space to connect, share experiences, and find resources to help you navigate your journey.
Whether you’re a seasoned foster parent or just beginning to explore the possibility, you’ll find:
- Understanding and empathy: Connect with others who truly “get it.” Share your stories, ask questions, and find encouragement from those who have walked a similar path.
- Practical advice and resources: Discover helpful tips, strategies, and resources for everything from navigating challenging behaviors to self-care and advocating for your foster child.
- A sense of belonging: Know that you’re not alone. The Hearth is a place where you can find support, build friendships, and celebrate the incredible work you do.
Gather around The Hearth, warm yourself by the shared experiences of others, and find the strength and resilience to keep your own fire burning bright.
