Services we Offer to our Foster Parents

Ultimately, everything we do is designed to serve at-risk families and children; foster parent mentors play a crucial role in this task. They are a catalyst in our mission and a valuable part of the treatment team. We treat our foster parents like the true agents of change they are. Our job is to “wash their feet” and provide them with the tools and support necessary to make a difference.

Comprehensive Clinical Training

Each foster family is taken through the nationally recognized PRIDE mutual assessment process for up to 30 hours of clinical, behavioral and psychological training. This powerful training program enables parents to properly manage children’s behavior. Many foster parents say this training has become invaluable in every aspect of their own lives and relationships.

24 hr Support Team & Crisis Intervention

Foster parents have ‘round-the-clock’ access to our highly qualified treatment team. We are available to counsel you on daily issues in working with the youth and we can be called into action for more serious issues. Our support team is always a phone call away and eager to serve you.

Competitive Financial Reimbursement

We believe that great responsibility comes with authority and Brighter Visions strives diligently to be a good steward of resources. Therefore, we ensure every foster family is provided with sufficient funds for the children in their care.

Therapy & Counseling for Youth and Families

As just one of the professional support services we provide, counseling services are available for the child and his/her family. Moreover, we provide these services to foster parents who may desire a professional to listen and counsel with them.

Medical, Dental & Mental Health Services

In addition to the per diem reimbursement, foster parents are free from worrying about healthcare services and medications. Brighter Visions facilitates the payment of all medical bills incurred by children in care.

Respite/Vacation

To provide a break from the life of foster care, we offer respite for all foster parents on a regular basis.
