Foster parents and kinship caregivers serve a critical role in the child welfare system. They are responsible for the day-to-day care of children and youth who are dependents of the state and their ability to parent in partnership with the child welfare system is a significant factor for placement success. However, they face unique parenting challenges and experience higher than average rates of parental stress which also impacts placement success. Along with increased stress, caregivers express feelings of isolation related to their unique parenting role. Therefore, there has been a consistent call for effective, research informed training and support for foster caregivers. This quantitative correlational-predictive study examines if and to what extent participation in social support groups or training-based support groups predicts caregiver stress for licensed foster and kinship caregivers in Washington state. Founded on the Determinants of Parenting Model, this study utilized the Parental Stress Scale along with self-reported data for known social and training-based support groups. A convenience sample of 97 caregivers was recruited from four key foster parent support organization Facebook pages. A simple linear regression was used for both research questions. The results indicated that neither social support group participation (F(4, 25) = 1.76, p = .17, R2 = .22, adj. R2 = .095) nor training-based support group participation F(4, 89) = .95, p = .44, R2 = .041, adj. R2 = -.002) individually predict caregiver stress for licensed foster and kinship caregivers in Washington state. These findings indicate a need to better understand the various factors that influence caregiver stress and how social support, or training impacts those factors.
