Joseph V.
Birthday: 10/2000 Grade in School: 3rd Heritage: Native American
ALL BOY, is the best way to describe this friendly kid. Joseph is a very athletic child who loves football but enjoys anything played with a ball. He would do very well and is looking forward to someday playing on a sports team. An intelligent guy, Joseph likes to tinker, draw, fi gure things out, learn new things, and play with LEGOS. When Joseph feels relaxed and comfortable in a situation, his silly side seems to come out. When this happens Joseph very much enjoys this “hang-out” time. He is a very observant kid who happens to notice little details in things. Some of Joseph’s current interests are animals and Transformers.

Greetings! We wanted to thank everyone who contributed to the success of our very 1st Annual Utah Foster Care Foundation Symposium held April 21st and 22nd in Midway. We had a great turnout and enjoyed several presenters’ views on trauma and attachment. Foster parents attending were eligible for three hours on Wednesday afternoon and six hours on Thursday to be credited towards licensure renewal. Clinicians were also able to obtain 9 CEU’s toward their licensure renewals.
Dr. Doug Goldsmith from the Children’s Center was the keynote
speaker. His presentation, “Attachment in Perspective: Keeping the Big Picture in View,” included case studies as well as grounded ideas of how to help families struggling with attachment and trauma issues. We want to thank him for his time and expertise and received numerous evaluations thanking him for all he shared. Foundation trainers Liz Rivera, MS, Les Harris, LCSW, Mick Woolsey, LCSW, and Nancy Zelenak, MSC explored other areas of attachment. Topics included Discipline with Traumatized Children, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Secondary Trauma & Foster Parents and Matters of the Heart from Children in Care.
We look forward to next year’s Symposium and hope you can join us!
Successful Symposium

If you have been giving a child any of the medications listed and they have nausea, vomiting or diarrhea PLEASE CONTACT THE CHILD’S MEDICAL PROVIDER and let them know.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the nurse assigned to the child’s case or the Fostering Healthy Children Program at 801.584.8598 or toll-free 800.829.2900 ext. #4.

Utah Foster/Adoptive Families Association Update
UFAFA is coming to a region near you!
Correction: UFAFA is coming to YOUR region!
We want all regions of the state to feel that they are represented by Utah Foster/Adoptive Families Association (UFAFA) and their needs are addressed. We felt that creating regional committees that are modeled after and report to the executive committee would be the best way to accomplish this goal. These committees would coordinate various endeavors in each region that would help fulfi ll the purposes of UFAFA. We need volunteers to staff these regional committees!
We are also looking for volunteers to create and staff “resource centers” throughout the state! Northern Region has a great one that is supervised by the Utah Foster Care Foundation. It has been such a success that we would like to spread it to all other regions. Basically, it is a place
where donated clothes and other items are sorted, stored and distributed (by appointment) to foster/adoptive families in need of the items.
Please check out our website (www.myufafa.com) to get more details on these Volunteer Opportunities.
ALSO – we have emailed questionnaires about child welfare to all candidates that are running for state legislative positions. To see how the candidates in YOUR district responded, please email Jenn @ [email protected] with your voting district (found on your voter registration card – there will be two, a house and a senate) as the subject line.
Thanks for all you do every day to make the world a better place!

Western Region Foster Mother of the YearCheryl Brown was awarded the western region foster mother of the year award for 2010. Cheryl has been a foster parent for 8 years, and between her and her other half Les, they have cared for over 60 kids, primarily boys between 12-18 years of age. Cheryl decided that she wasn’t done “mothering” after her last biological child was raised. Now loneliness is hard to come by, between taking the boys camping, fi shing, and swimming, and helping them to get jobs and teaching them to cook. Cheryl is even going head-to-head with
one of them in a WII fi t weight-loss contest this summer. Cheryl says, “It keeps you alive, I talk to other people my age and say, ‘That is all you have in your life?’ Not to put down prize rose bushes or anything, but kids are our future.”
Cheryl was awarded this prestigious title by Mayor John R. Curtis of Provo City in front of the city hall on Tuesday May 4, 2010. The mayor congratulated Cheryl on her tireless effort in making a difference in the lives of so many others.

Wishing Well Funds
By Ron Cromar, supervisor health care team
DCFS Western Region In your daily life as a Resource Family (foster family) the process of disbursing medication may seem like a simple, logical, no-brainer. The medication is taken out, given to the person it is prescribed for and life goes on.
Caring for children in foster care adds a completely different dimension regarding medication. A simple mistake has the potential to lead to a much larger consequence. It is important to keep up with the most recent rules and/or regulations and ask questions if you aren’t sure about something. Here are some helpful reminders:1. Foster parents administer prescribed medications according to written directions of a licensed prescriber. Medicine is only given to the child for whom it is prescribed. 2. Medications are not to be discontinued without the approval of the licensed prescriber. When the youth is taken off a medication – the medication needs to be disposed of properly. Best practice is to contact the child’s health care team member on how to do this. Don’t forget to fi ll out a medication Disposal Record. 3. Non-prescriptive medications are administered by a foster parent according to manufacturer’s instructions. Please remember to lock these up also. 4. Medications are not to be administered by another child in foster care. 5. Medication is not used for
behavior management or restraint unless prescribed by a licensed prescriber with notifi cation to the Health Care team. 6. When administering medication, have one youth come up at a time while you are disbursing. Keep the medication in front of you and don’t let a youth distract you during this process.7. When a youth is on respite, home visit, or moving to another home the medication must be in the container that it came in. Violation of this is illegal. *In the home you may use plastic weekly pill containers but the prescription bottle must be in the plastic bag with the weekly pill container. 8. Please fax the completed health care report to the health care team member before leaving the doctor’s or dentist offi ce. This will save you time and will ensure it is turned in.* Forms may be found in the child’s home to home book, or you may obtain one from the Health care team member.9. When a new youth comes into your home try to fi nd out if they have a dentist or doctor that the child has seen. Ask the caseworker, biological parent, or foster family for information. If the dentist or doctor needs to change please contact the health care team member assigned to that child prior to doing so. 10. It is wise to keep a medication log for each youth in care.
Please contact your health care team member with any questions. If you need to fi nd out the name of your team member, please contact me at 801.492.3343 or email [email protected].
