Therapeutic Foster Care

Children in the foster care system with behavioral health issues need a stable family environment to assist them in realizing their full potential.  For children that do not have a family that can offer the support needed, a therapeutic foster care home can provide that essential link.

Therapeutic foster parents undergo specialized training, as well as state regulated foster home licensing.  They become a key component of the child’s care plan.  Case management and in-home clinical services are provided, and the family receives 24 hour on-call assistance, ongoing training on behavior modification, medication management and development of coping skills, as well as access to appropriate, professional mental health services for the children in their care.

Foster parents make a difference in the lives of children who have nowhere else to go, and without a stable home, the child risks being placed in an institutional setting.
