Treatment Foster Care
We specialize in Treatment Foster Care, making us better equipped to provide families the significant emotional and behavioral health supports they may need.
Treatment foster care, also known as therapeutic foster care, is a specialized form of foster care designed to provide a higher level of support and structure for children and youth who require specialized care due to their emotional, behavioral, or medical needs. It aims to create a nurturing and therapeutic environment where children can heal, grow, and thrive despite the challenges they may face.
Our Case Managers are involved every step of the way, including treatment planning, monitoring of the care plan, and linkages to community resources. They work with medical providers, mental health providers, school staff, Department of Social Services, Department of Juvenile Justice, Court Systems, and insurance providers to ensure appropriate coverage to receive identified services.
