September 2008 News
Did you know that FCAOC is a group of foster parents and community members who are interested in helping foster families in their efforts and we are NOT funded with county, state or federal funds? We are YOUR organization and our main support comes from our Thrift Store proceeds and community members and organizations who believe in our case. Please help spread the word to other community members who want to do their part to help us.

New Support Group Forming on Fire Setting
Fire setting will be the topic of our next Support Group at the Foster Care Auxiliary Center.
This meeting will be Monday, September 8, 2008 from 9am-11am and will tackle four types of fire-setting behavior in children: silent but deadly, impulsive, disturbed, and accidental or curious with insights into the possible reasons for children’s fire setting behavior. There will be practical and immediate steps offered that parents can take to deal with fire setting behavior and some general steps for all foster or adoptive parents who are caring for a child with a fire-setting problem. For information or to register call 714 778-3383 or email FosterCareAux@yahoo.com The meetings will consist of training credit toward required foster parent hours, support, discussion and networking. Plus as an added bonus for members- distribution will begin immediately following the meeting. Please join this group of foster parents in your community.
