TREATMENT FOSTER CARE

Our Expanded Services

We know children and teens have the best opportunity to thrive when they are living with their families. If that isn’t possible, every child deserves a safe and loving temporary home surrounded by a supportive community. Our expanded treatment foster care services makes all that possible!

  • Traditional Treatment Foster Care—Services for youth needing the highest level of care due to extreme trauma in a specialized licensed foster home. Our trauma-informed team provides enhanced services and supports to help the youth successfully remain in the community while learning new coping skills processing their trauma.
  • Relative Treatment Foster Care—Services in the home for youth and their relative caregiver to teach new skills so the youth may remain in a family setting. Individualized training and increased supports to the relative caregiver and youth assist in maintaining the placement.
  • Transition Services (Aftercare)—Services provided to support a youth’s successful transition to permanency, a less intensive family home, or a community setting. This 90-day program, which may be extended on a month-by-month basis with approval if needed, helps caregivers understand and effectively manage the youth’s challenges so any gains made are not lost.
