About Evergreen Foster Care
Evergreen Foster Care is a highly specialised service that focuses on moving children from residential schools or children’s homes into intensively supported, fostering households. The aim of Evergreen Foster Care is to provide families for children who would not be able to access standard foster care, but could, if adequately supported, make the transition to a family environment.
​
As children coming out of residential care usually have a range of difficulties, only one foster child can be placed with a family at any one time. This ensures that progress is not complicated by the competing needs of equally complex and/or challenging children, and that the fostering family maintains stable.
We feel passionately about taking a holistic and therapeutic approach to providing care for children who have social, emotional and/or mental health difficulties, and who may also have aspects of ‘autistic spectrum condition’. We strongly believe that timely intervention can bring children inner-peace and contentment, enabling them to become positive, valuable members of society.
We recognise the need for loving homes for children whose high-level needs are such that they have previously struggled in foster care and have thus been cared for in children’s homes and/or residential schools. Our primary aim is to provide a team of foster carers and homes that are supported and highly trained to address the needs of such children in a loving home. We recognise the high levels of resilience required by foster carers and provide a wider ‘family’ of support to help both the children and foster carers.
