What is Treatment Foster Care?

The goal of Treatment Foster Care is to help Children with mental health issues live successfully in families and communities.

Treatment Foster Care is a foster family-based treatment program that trains, reimburses, and supervises Parents who provide homes for children and adolescents.

The Treatment Foster Care Program serves children and youth whose special needs cannot be met in their own families.

Treatment Foster Parents, through training from the agency, become specialists in the care of youth with emotional and behavioral problems. Treatment Foster Parents receive daily clinical support from the agency, higher daily rate, intensive training and prestige in their role as part of the Treatment team. Other members of the treatment team include a Family Support Worker, Home Based Therapist, Group Therapists, Foster Care Coordinator and Respite staff.
