Going Home: A Companion Guide for Foster Children - Paperback

Going Home is a workbook for children entering the foster care system. The book will help them understand what is and will be happening to them in a simple and fun way through activities. Going Home will help ease the transition into foster care for children and caregivers alike. The author, Heather J. Cuthbertson was a caseworker for the Oregon Department of Human Services, Child Welfare for over six years both in Intake (child abuse/neglect investigations) and Permanency (working with families involved with the juvenile court system). In that time, she has seen a growing need for a book like Going Home for children entering the foster care system. She hopes Going Home will not only help children move past the uncertainty of entering and living in foster care, but to help them see the possibilities of happiness, security, and brighter tomorrows.
