Tusla Fostering Online Information Session

Tusla is in urgent need of foster carers for children who have additional support needs.

Could you foster John*?

John* is a loving and energetic 13 year old boy who has additional behavioural needs and thrives on one to one attention. John* has a diagnosis of ADHD and responds well to treatment. John has a mild learning difficulty and receives extra support in school and has received therapeutic support over the past three years and has made significant progress. He would like to live with a foster family who has an interest in outdoor activities as he loves outdoor activities, playing with animals and thrives on structure. Could you provide him with a long-term, loving, stable home?

Tusla will offer ongoing support to John and his foster carers. Foster carers and John* will receive, a bespoke package of support and training.

Have you ever considered how your experience could make you a good fit to foster a child like John?

Tusla is asking people with the skills and willingness to support a child with additional support needs, to consider becoming a foster carer.
