This article provides an overview of the Rising Ground program in New York City.
The program aims to introduce parents and foster parents within a week of the child’s placement. The facilitator will then serve as a coach for both parties, helping them communicate and collaborate to meet the child’s needs. By supporting the co-parenting relationship, Rising Ground hopes to improve the child’s transition, reduce the parent’s stress, and accelerate family reunification.
