Become a Foster Parent

In our Therapeutic Foster Care program, children and youth with emotional or behavioral challenges, disabilities, and other needs live with dedicated foster parents who help them heal and grow. With the support of their foster parent and our caring team, children work toward their goals, such as reuniting with family, adoption, or independent living. Supports include:

  • Weekly home visits
  • Case management
  • Referrals to community resources
  • Support to help the child succeed in school
  • Skill development to help foster parents learn about loss, grief, shared parenting, and other topics

All children deserve to lead full, joyful lives and to have caring people supporting them as they grow. Indiana Mentor gives children more than just a safe home. We help children who have had a difficult start in life overcome the challenges they face.

Our foster parents, who we call Mentors, come from all walks of life and backgrounds, but they have one thing in common. They’re caring people who want to help children live their best life.

Basic Requirements Include:

  • Must be 21 years of age or older
  • Must have an extra bedroom
  • Must complete a background check

Foster parents are independent contractors and not employees of Indiana Mentor or Sevita.
