Respite for Foster Families
Foster families are provided respite care of up to 72 hours per month. Respite care can be used for a day or overnight break, or accumulated for longer vacations or other family needs.
Tapestry Family Services is recruiting respite providers from the local community who are interested in working with children with emotional challenges. Being a repite
care provider is a great way to get hands-on training
and find out if you'd like to be a full-time foster
parent. If you are interested in learning more about
becoming a respite provider, please email Kelly Clark at kellyc@tapestryfs.org or call (707) 463-3300 ext. 115 for more information.
