It is a reality that sometimes a child will need to be removed from the person in charge of their care for a temporary period. This can happen for many reasons, but when it does, it involves entering the child in question into a foster care program. Youth Care UPA runs such a program in Ballina, working within the local foster care system and offering interested and suitable candidates quality foster carer training. Unlike many other programs in the country, we realize that ultimately the wellbeing, happiness, and safety of the child in question should always remain a top priority.
