FOSTER CARE

The One Home Initiative is a collective of public and private agency representatives dedicated to reducing placement moves for children in the foster care system. This resource guide was developed based on research into the areas that are most likely to lead to placement disruptions. Behaviors most likely to lead to placement disruptions are but not limited to: running behaviors, physical, verbal, and sexual aggression, and self-sabotaging behaviors such as lying or self-harm. The guide is meant for both parents and professionals looking for resources when faced with challenges in placement.
