[QUOTE="ksm, post: 483518, member: 12511"] Today at church (Sunday school actually) we had a speaker from the mental health organization. They are looking for families to be "respite" families for children - to give the child and their care giver a break. She said "special needs" but it isn't physical needs - mental health needs, like ADD, ADHD, bipolar, etc... Kind of like a sleep over for difficult child's. But you have to go thru the same licensing procedures that foster care has for foster homes. (Classes, home inspection, etc) I guess you get paid $65 for one day. What I thought was funny was the speaker said, even though these children act out at home, none of her respite families have ever had any big complaints about behavior. That most the children only act out at home. Gee, don't we know that! Anyway, instead of being ready to sign up to be a respite family... husband joked that we should be on the list to get respite care! We really need a break and so does little sis. KSM [/QUOTE]
