Why Southwest Virginia Needs Foster Families
Across the counties our Wytheville office serves, nearly 190 children are in foster care, and about 70 of them are waiting to be adopted, according to the More Than Enough foster care data project.
In rural communities, a shortage of local foster families can mean a child is placed hours from home. Every new foster family in Southwest Virginia helps a child stay close to their school, friends and family.

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 Wytheville 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.
