Learn about becoming a respite caregiver with The Foundling! Our respite caregivers work within our Families United program, making their homes available to provide short-term care and intervention to young people ages 7-17 struggling with behavioral issues.

This orientation session will cover the details of the program, responsibilities of a respite caregiver, licensing requirements, paperwork needed, and how to get started. Staff will be present to answer questions and talk through any topics you would like to learn more about.

All sessions are held virtually via ZOOM. You will receive sign-in details after reaching out and connecting with our staff.
