Buddies for new Carers
Stepping into the role of a foster or kinship carer is unique and brings its own challenges and joys. Often it is only other carers who can understand the journey. Fostering Hope provides a buddy program for all new carers. We have a pool of experienced foster and kinship carers willing to buddy with a new carer for their first 12 months to provide friendship, mentoring and support.
If you would like to be a buddy for a new carer, or you are a new carer looking for a buddy, we'd love to hear from you
