Foster parenting in the Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County
In the context of child welfare services, family care means arranging the care and upbringing of a child in a foster home, away from the child's own home. The aim of family care is to ensure a stable environment for each child, in addition to close and permanent relationships with other people. Foster families are needed by children of different ages, each with their individual needs.
The child will stay in the foster family for as long as necessary. The objectives and duration of placement and care are determined in the plan that is drawn up together by the child's parents, the foster parents and a social worker. Family care can be short-term or long-term.
Our family care team is always looking for new support families, and short-term and long-term foster families to join our activities.
We hold information events on family care all year round. More information about the events can be found on our Facebook page LUVN Perhehoito.
