The goal of TIPS-MAPP is for each party involved – the child placement agency, social services and the foster parents – to form a partnership of care around the child.

Therapeutic Foster Care Training in North Carolina

Our agency is one of the few agencies in the state to provide therapeutic foster care parenting classes taught by a trainer who is also a therapeutic foster care parent. Because our licensed trainer has first hand experience in working with a child who requires special care, her understanding of the quality of care necessary for the therapeutic foster care relationship is of extreme value to foster parents, the children as well as our agency.

Helping Children Find Nurturing Family Environments

Family is a key component of our mission at My BROTHER’S House. We advocate for youth and want them to find stable environments that will nurture them for success. We want the children as well as the families who foster them to have the support they need in order to make this experience mutually rewarding. To that end, we help prospective foster families understand their role in the fostering relationship as well as provide the necessary tools, assistance and education for successful foster parenting.
