“…An ability to meet challenges that inevitably arise in the emotional lives of foster children and foster parents has been described in the literature as resilience. Resilient foster parents manage ambiguity in child development and behavior (Buehler, Rhodes, Orme, & Cuddeback, ), and deal with unmet expectations (Cameron et al., ) as well as rejection and abandonment (Fagan, Pantone, & Shulman, ) through their ability to regulate emotion (Healey & Fisher, ).

Aboriginal foster parents are underrepresented.There is a need to recruit and retain Aboriginal foster parents. In the study, Aboriginal foster parents were asked: "What do you need emotionally to be a good foster parent?" The results were analyzed using multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis, leading to eight concepts, including: awareness, contentment, self-assurance, appreciation, resolve, space, caring, and commitment to one's values. These results were compared with the existing foster parent literature. Similarities and differences were described.

A B S T R AC TThis paper presents the results of a study comparing the impacts on helping relationships of locating front-line child protection service providers in central locations or in accessible school and neighbourhood service delivery sites. Creating easier access to front-line child protection service providers, fostering more positive community perceptions of child welfare services, improving client and service provider satisfaction with helping relationships and services, and increasing families' willingness to ask for help were core objectives at the accessible sites. Using a quasi-experimental outcome design, file reviews and qualitative interviews with service providers and parents, this study presents evidence that accessible sites had substantial success in achieving these objectives when compared with central service delivery locations.
