Resource Families
Re-Imagining Foster Care Support in New Mexico
● What?
Resource Families is building the foundation where support is a presence, not a service.
New Day is offering comprehensive support for resource parents of transition aged young people. We offer a broad range of support - beginning with recruiting parents interested in fostering teenagers, through navigating the process successfully and completing the CYFD foster parent licensure process.
Our support doesn't stop there! We will help bridge you into the world of resource parenting by connecting you to invaluable trainings, support groups, and individualized coaching. You will become part of a community!
These resources are also available for resource parents (and relative resource parents) who already have their license and who are already have young people in their homes.
