MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS

Mental health challenges among children in foster care are widespread and deeply complex. Many of the children who come to AHERO Child Placement Agency have experienced significant trauma, loss and instability. These are factors that, without proper intervention, can impact their emotional development for years to come. Studies show that youth in foster care are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, PTSD and other mental health conditions compared to their peers.

Foster parents are crucial partners in the healing journey. At AHERO CPA, we work to ensure that foster families feel supported from the very beginning of the process and beyond. We offer extensive training, ongoing education, crisis intervention support and access to experienced licensed staff to help foster parents navigate the challenges of trauma-informed care.

By equipping foster families with the tools to build nurturing, stable homes, AHERO CPA empowers them to make a lasting, positive difference in the lives of the children they welcome.
