Building a holistic support system for care families.

We want carers to have a ‘team’, for the highs and lows and everything in between on the journey of providing home-based care for children and young people.

The Wrap-around Teams resource equips a carer’s ‘team’ with understanding and practical plans to provide a range of support as carers open their home through Foster care, Kinship care, Permanent care or Guardianship, or Adoption.

The Wrap-around Teams resource will equip you to gather your team for an informative and practical conversation about what doing the journey together will look like. It includes:

• A three-part video series
• Facilitator guide
• Participant booklet

Part 1: The role of a small group

Why is there a need to be intentional in caring for Foster, Kinship or Adoptive families? What is the role of a ‘team’ in the journey of providing Out-of-Home Care?

Part 2: What should I expect?

What will welcoming a child into the home be like? Explore expectations to be better positioned to respond in empathy and provide genuine support

Part 3: Building your team

A practical conversation about building your team. Explore types of support, potential roles and expectations to be able to help and not unintentionally hurt.

Caring for Carers Resource

The Caring for Carers resource is your comprehensive guide to providing holistic support for those who are opening their home to children and young people, whether through foster care, kinship care, permanent care, or adoption. It is our desire that none of these families would be on this journey alone and that this resource will help you to walk together.

As a pastor, friend, family member, small group member, or church volunteer, you have a significant role to play!

This resource includes ‘Wrap-around Team’ guidelines plus additional ideas for churches wanting to support carers who are part of their church community.
