"People say to us all of the time, 'Oh, I could never foster. I couldn't give them away after I've had them.' We just say, 'You're not giving them away, you're giving them back.'"
— Margaret & Walter Stockton, Closer to Home Foster Parents (25 years)

One of the biggest hesitations people have about fostering is the fear of getting too attached and having to say goodbye. But the truth is, getting attached is exactly what these children need.

Because the ultimate goal of foster care is family reunification, a foster parent’s role is to provide a safe, loving space until children can safely return home. Vulnerable youth need someone who will love them fiercely enough to risk a broken heart. When a child learns to bond securely with a foster parent, they carry that capacity for trust and love back to their birth parents. 🏠❤️

We walk with our foster families every step of the way with 24/7 support, training, and resources.

Happy International Youth Day! 🌟✨

Today, we celebrate the incredible potential and resilience of young people. But behind every thriving youth is a community providing the tools they need to succeed.

Growing up can be hard, frustrating, or confusing. That’s why Closer to Home offers Viewpoints—a free program helping youth aged 8–17 build strong social connections, boost self-confidence, and practice a more resilient self.

Available in Calgary, Airdrie, Crossfield, Irricana, and Beiseker, Viewpoints breaks down the stigma around youth mental health through a trauma-informed setting:
🤝 One-to-one support
🧠 Interactive workshops & drop-in classes
🎨 Fun group activities and clubs

Tough times can't always be avoided, but together, we can make sure our local youth are prepared to handle them. 💙

It’s a unique lifestyle choice, but you don't do it alone. Closer to Home walks with our foster families every step of the way with 24/7 support, training, and resources.
