Why Franklin County Needs Foster Families
Franklin County has about 75 children in foster care, and 26 of them are waiting to be adopted, according to the More Than Enough foster care data project. Fewer than half of them live with a foster family, and every new local family gives a child the chance to stay in their own community.

How to Get Started
01
Fill out the qualification form
The first step is completing an inquiry or qualification form. This allows the Intercept Health team to learn more about your interest in becoming a foster parent and answer any initial questions.
It only takes a few minutes. A member of our Rocky Mount team will follow up, usually within one to two weeks.
02
Attend an information session and meet the team
After submitting an inquiry, you will meet with members of our Treatment Foster Care team. This meeting provides an opportunity to learn more about the program and determine if fostering is the right fit for you.
Learn how treatment foster care works, ask questions and meet the people who will support you. Find an information session.
03
Complete training and your home study
Training helps foster parents develop the knowledge and skills needed to support youth with emotional and behavioral challenges. Training topics often include trauma-informed care, behavior management strategies, and communication techniques.
You'll complete Pressley Ridge foster parent training and a home study, often at the same time. Most families are certified in about 3 to 6 months.
