Abstract

"News" piece on Maine's foster care network. The Legislature's Health and Human Services Committee wants to strengthen the program so it can function better as the temporary support system it was always intended to be. Last week, the committee agreed to develop strategies to maximize the recruitment and retention of foster care families, and it is also looking at expanding services to families in crisis, particularly substance abuse and domestic violence programs, to alleviate the need to remove a child from a potentially dangerous situation.
