OTHER CANADIAN RESOURCES
How is Verified different from product review sites like G2, Capterra, Software Advisor, et al?
Does Verified replace the need for a phone call with references?
Using Verified, prospects are able to hear from references without having to schedule a call. It is possible, however, that some prospects will want to have a follow-up call with a particular reference. This is done via the same process being used today. The difference is that the follow-up call is richer and can address specific questions from the prospect, since the prospect has the benefit of having viewed the Verified interview and can ask more precise follow-up questions.
Does Verified recruit references?

What Can I Do?
1. Get the Facts
There is a lot of misinformation about why kids end up in foster care and who can make a difference. Bust the myths with the real facts.
2. Learn the Needs
Contact your local government child welfare office or foster parent network and ask about the local needs for families and kids in your area.
3. Find Your Place
Not everyone's called to be a foster parent, but we can each do something. Respite, mentoring, advocacy, Safe Families - connect with existing organizations and find your fit!
