Out of Home Temporary Respite Care

The following contacts are families with adopted children in the greater Sacramento, California area. As part of their training, they have been mentored by Carla DeRose MFT, and actively participated in the Parent Cooperative Community for Hope, Help and Healing, a community that provides time, space and parenting resources to assist children whose histories of institutionalization, abuse, neglect or multiple placements have rendered them unable to benefit from other more traditional community resources. It is their sincere wish to extend support to other adoptive parents with challenging kids by providing temporary respite care in their home. Please contact them directly for more information.
