Onslow County fosters strong families through social services outreach initiatives

Onslow County is taking significant steps to support its foster care system, emphasizing the community's role in nurturing the next generation. During a recent government meeting, officials highlighted the importance of collaboration in ensuring the happiness and health of children in foster care.

The Department of Social Services (DSS) is actively working to equip foster families, whether they are long-term placements or providing respite care. The discussions underscored the need for community involvement in building strong families and supporting those who may need assistance.

For those interested in learning more about the foster care program, DSS representatives shared resources available on the county's website. A dedicated landing page provides information about training and curriculum for prospective foster parents. Additionally, individuals can reach out via email at fplicensing@onslowcountync.gov or by calling DSS directly to speak with licensing workers who can guide them through the process.

This initiative reflects a broader commitment to fostering a supportive environment for children and families in Onslow County. As community members are encouraged to participate, the county aims to strengthen its foster care system and ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive.
