Baltimore Foster Care Services by MENTOR Maryland

MENTOR Maryland’s Baltimore program provides foster care services for children with a wide range of needs. We help children with trauma, behavioral health needs, autism and other challenges.

Youth in our foster care programs live with caring foster parents and become part of the family. While children are in their foster home, our team supports them and their foster parents each step of the way. We create a unique care plan for each child to help them form the healing and supportive relationships that help them grow.

Meet One of Our Foster Parents

“What really keeps me going is my empathy,” says Sheena, a foster parent who has welcomed children with autism into her home. “If you have the heart for it, do it. Everything else will fall into place, but if your heart is genuinely in the right place to support kids with autism the resources are there. Just start with your heart and mind in the right place and be open to learning.”
