Could you become a foster parent in Eastleigh?

If you’re looking to become a foster parent in Eastleigh or the wider Hampshire area, consider joining ISP. Our team of professionals have been providing an excellent standard of care since 1987, and we have led the way as the founders of therapeutic foster care.

What is therapeutic foster care?

Therapeutic fostering is a specialist type of foster care which strives to understand the impact of trauma on a child at every level, from the development of their brain structure to their behaviours and relationships with others. Therapeutic foster care is based on science, but driven by compassion for the children and young people who it benefits.
