Foster Care in Georgia
Foster care in Georgia incorporates high-quality, evidence-based, trauma-informed strategies for children and youth. As an essential element of programming, NYAP actively engages and supports primary families, kinship providers, and foster families as key treatment team members. Services strategically address each child or youth’s developmental, physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and cultural needs.
Foster parents’ skill development occurs through formal training opportunities, supervision, and consultation. NYAP assists foster parents in developing a rich understanding of Georgia’s rules and regulations on foster care, how to maintain safety, the importance of the connection with the primary family, the impact of trauma on development, and effective behavior management strategies. Trauma-forward principles are embedded throughout preservice for foster parents.
