Case Studies

Meet foster carers Steve and Lisa…

Steve and Lisa Image“William and Bella came into our care when they were 3 and 5 years of age. It was a challenge caring for them in the beginning.

However, with the training, guidance and support of Care Pathways and the Department of Communities – Child Safety Services, we know we are not alone.

William and Bella ImageThis support enables both of us to provide acceptance, consistent boundaries and love to William and Bella. As a result William is now attending kindy and Bella is at school and enjoying time with family and friends. Steve and I love spending time with them and our lives have been enriched since they became part of it.

Yes, we are foster carers.”


Meet Sam…

Sam Image“I went to live with Don and Noela when I was 12 years old. They gave me a loving home where I had my own room and they made me feel safe and accepted.

Now I am part of Don and Noela’s family, along with their three other children, who are like brothers and sisters to me. I am now 15 and I’m doing really well at school, have a part-time job and play basketball on weekends. Don comes to watch me play every Saturday and I can hear him cheering on the sideline.

I am Sam, and Don and Noela are my foster carers.”
