Coordinator Services
Coordinators provide support services to foster parents through the organization, scheduling and facilitation of Peer Support Groups; offering foster parents an avenue for personal, individual support by making referral recommendations and suggestions; providing foster parents with necessary Ministry publications to assist them in their role as caregivers; to introduce them to experienced foster parents as mentors; to assist them in locating relevant resource material; and to ensure they are aware of Ministry, council and community support services available to them.

Coordinator Contacts
Through caregiver contact at meetings, social events and workshop evaluations, the Coordinator identifies areas of concern, topics foster parents want more training on, and policies or procedures which are unclear. In consultation with the other CFS staff members and the Strategic Planning Committee, the Coordinator organizes and facilitates workshops and forums to address the needs of foster parents in each area.
