Foster Parent Coach with Mary Rose Maloney

MaryRose is a foster parent coach and a former child welfare case manager. She owns and operates her own online coaching business that supports foster parents as they support children and families.

MaryRose works with foster parents on things like advocating effectively, setting and enforcing boundaries, supporting parents on their journey to reunification and so much more.

She believes that the only way we’ll change our world for the better is if we put aside our differences and focus on what is best for children.

MaryRose lives in her hometown of Atlanta, GA with Kyreigh and Irving, her two dogs. She moved back to Atlanta to be closer to her family after attending Florida State University and working in the child welfare system in Tallahassee, FL.

MaryRose plans to attend law school in the near future to continue advocating for children and families in the courtroom and/or through public policy.

Mary Rose Maloney is the first foster parent coach that I have met. And I think the concept is brilliant!

There are about a million ways that a foster parent could use a bit of coaching.

Trauma Levels
Court proceedings
Biological parents
Therapists
Child Welfare system workers

Think about it, even if you are a new or even a seasoned foster parent you want all the help you can get. You are wise to consider a second opinion about your perception of the case and how you communicate it to others.

Our conversation pointed out needs that we had not even considered. Foster parents and adoptive parents can use all the support they can get and will only be well served by considering this as an available support.
