Gießen hosts info evening for aspiring foster families on February 10

An information evening for prospective foster families will be held in Gießen on February 10, 2023. The event aims to explain the process of fostering and the support available to carers. Organisers will cover different types of foster care, key requirements, and the responsibilities involved.

The session takes place at 8:00 PM at the Gießen Adult Education Center. Attendees will learn how fostering provides stability and security for children who cannot live with their birth families. The role requires resilience, stable life circumstances, and a commitment to supporting vulnerable young people.

Foster carers can be couples, families, cohabiting partners, or single individuals. They must offer a nurturing home and will receive ongoing guidance from youth welfare professionals. The evening will outline the practical steps for those considering fostering as a way to make a social contribution.

The event offers a chance to ask questions and understand the fostering process in detail. Those interested in attending can find further information through the Gießen Adult Education Center. No prior experience is needed, but a willingness to provide a safe, caring environment is essential.
