Why Should You
Foster A Child?
Every day in Ontario, children are removed from unsafe environments because of abuse, neglect, trauma, or exploitation. Many of these kids have nowhere safe to go, and without the right foster homes, they risk falling deeper into cycles of pain, addiction, and instability. Fostering gives them something they’ve lost: hope, stability, and a chance to heal.
We equip you with specialized training, 24/7 support, and a community of care, so you’ll never feel like you’re doing this alone.
When you foster, you don’t just change one child’s life; you change their future.
How To Become
A Foster Parent
Getting started is simple. It begins with a friendly home visit and a short application, including background and safety checks. From there, we guide you through a home study to ensure the right fit and provide specialized trauma-focused training so you feel fully prepared and confident. Safe Harbours makes every step clear and supportive, so you can focus on what matters most: giving a child a safe, loving home.
