If you're 25 or older and would like to become a foster parent in Maui, you'll need to pass a criminal background check.
Maui Behavioral Health Resources is seeking foster parents for its therapeutic foster care program at Maui Youth & Family Services.
The program provides a family home atmosphere for youth ages 10-17 with mental health needs or who may be experiencing difficulties socially, behaviorally, or academically.
The program helps youth who are not able to receive care in their own home but can achieve stability and growth in an atmosphere where they can receive parental supervision, guidance, and support, according to a news release.
Potential foster parents will receive free training and follow-up support, a daily monetary stipend when youth are placed in the home and access to a 24-hour support line.
To enroll in the program, potential foster parents must pass a criminal background check.
For more information, contact services@myfs.org or contact Maui Behavioral Health Resources at (808) 765-7254.
