Recruitment Peer Mentoring Program

What is the RPM Program?

The Recruitment Peer Mentoring (RPM) program is a recruitment effort in the state of Idaho that engages experienced foster, adoptive, and kinship parents to meet with individuals and groups to talk about the role of resource families (foster and adoptive) and to assist them through the application and assessment process. As Recruiter Peer Mentors (RPM's), they also provide mentoring and resources for new foster and pre-adoptive families.

As local foster, adoptive, and kinship parents, Recruiter Peer Mentors help individuals become a resource family by:

  • Guiding them through the foster and adoptive parent applicant process,    
  • Providing on-going support to licensed resource families, and
  • Connecting them with community resources, support groups, and a resource library.

The RPM program is implemented statewideand consists of a regional committee which includes Idaho Department of Health and Welfare Program Managers, regional Directors, the regional RPM's, Idaho Child Welfare Research and Training Center, Idaho Child Welfare Partnership, University Partners, Navigators, Supervisors, Tribal representatives, and community members as appointed by the committee.
