The Ministry of Social Protection’s Child Care and Protection Agency (CPA) has launched a Mentorship Programme, as part of its 2017 National Foster Care Month activities, to provide support for children who will be aging-out of the formal care system.
According to a Department of Public Information report, the programme was officially launched at a media workshop, which was held yesterday at the Mirage Banquet Hall, at Albert Street, Alberttown.
It noted that there are currently 87 children who will soon reach the age of majority, which means they will be unable to receive assistance from the state care system.
