THERAPEUTIC FOSTER CARE
The foster care program is primarily used
for children, ages 4-18, who:
-
have completed residential treatment, but are unable to
return to their own family,
-
have completed residential treatment, and are waiting for a
permanent family to be identified,
-
are still in need of continued treatment in a less
restrictive environment, or
-
have not been in residential treatment, but have needs that
can most effectively be addressed by specially trained foster
parents.
Children served by Children's
Home Society’s Therapeutic Foster Care Program have
moderate emotional and behavioral problems. These children are in need
of a family home placement which can provide positive guidance,
care, and supervision.
They need unconditional affection and acceptance, along with
consistent age-appropriate expectations. The goal in each placement
is to provide a safe, stable, and nurturing home environment that
will be conducive to the child’s positive
development.
