Foster care services are provided to foster families and foster children served by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.

Our foster care program is designed to provide children a positive family environment where they can:

• Learn life skills and values
• Maintain family connections
• Achieve permanency

Services provided to the foster family include:

• Ongoing training and support groups
• Home visits by your Foster Care Specialist to provide support and guidance, share information and promote progress
• 24-7 on-call availability if you have an emergency, need advice or just want to talk
• Social activities for children and families to interact and share peer support
• We will work with you to find respite resources.
• Families with a desire to provide foster care services, meet licensing guidelines and complete training are eligible to participate. Foster parents receive a monthly expense reimbursement from Children’s Square. Medical coverage is provided for foster children through Nebraska Medicaid.
