Foster New Beginnings highlights importance of foster care
This week marks the start of the Foster New Beginnings campaign in the Battlefords. This is the second-annual campaign of its kind, and will run for two weeks.
Deb Davies is the Executive Director of the Saskatchewan Foster Families Association (SFFA), a community-based organization that provides support for both prospective and approved foster parents across Saskatchewan.
Davies became a foster parent, herself, over 30 years ago. She said the idea behind the Foster New Beginnings campaign is to help raise awareness of the importance of foster families.
“The Foster Family Recruitment campaign is to reach out to our community to ask people to consider becoming a foster parent,” Davies said. What we’re trying to do is provide information and awareness about what fostering is all about and the need for foster families.”
