Foster Care
Family Centered Services of Alaska (FCSA) has full-time and part-time therapeutic foster care available for clients and families as part of our continuum of care. Children must be accepted into a FCSA program in order to be placed in an FCSA foster home or use our respite services.
For full-time foster care, generally only one foster child is placed in a home. The average length of stay is approximately one year, though this varies. We also offer part-time therapeutic foster care and respite care for our clients and families. This is available to foster parents and, if available, biological parents. Respite care is generally just for a weekend and provides a break for the parents. Respite care allows the client an opportunity to stay over night with a therapeutic family and do fun activities.
If you are interested in becoming an FCSA therapeutic foster parent or would like more information about our foster care program, please contact Vicki Blankenship at (907) 479-9511. We provide training, support and excellent pay to our foster parents.
