Marc Bermann, Foster Care Recruiter/Trainer for the JCFS will  be here to discuss  the need for qualified, committed foster parents, mentors and life coaches who can positively impact the lives  of children and youth, most of whom are wards of the State of Illinois. These children are designated as “special needs” clients, due to the cognitive, emotional and behavioral impairments that are the results of neglect and physical/emotional/sexual abuse. If you are interested in receiving more information about this program and the qualifications needed to become a licensed foster parent, please attend this meeting.
