When it comes to placing teenagers in foster care, exploring their existing connections can uncover hidden opportunities. Here’s how to leverage the power of networking to find the right placements: Engage with the Teen’s Network: Teens often have a wide circle of friends, family, and acquaintances. Begin by identifying and reaching out to people who already know the teen. These connections might be more open to fostering or providing respite care than you think. Collaborate with Key Contacts: Spend time with the teen’s social worker and placement worker. Investing just a few hours with them could yield valuable leads. Imagine dedicating 2 hours to get 5 potential names—those 5 names could turn into placement opportunities with just a few more hours of conversation. Explore Natural Caregivers: Consider reaching out to individuals who are already hosting or helping teens in informal settings. For instance, if a teen is couch-surfing and staying with friends, those families might be interested in offering a more stable, supported placement if they receive proper training and resources. By tapping into these existing networks, you can find new placement opportunities for teens and potentially build a strong support system for them.
