Therapeutic Foster Care

Shay and Sandra are a true testament to the success of our Therapeutic Foster Care program.  Click here to watch their story.

Our Therapeutic Foster Care program is delivered through our network of local caregivers, called Mentors, who open their heart and their home to children and adolescents in need.  This flexible program provides at-risk youth with a warm, stable environment, as well as the support needed to address emotional and behavioral challenges often stemming from abuse and neglect.  Our Mentors provide children in their care with therapeutic intervention, nurturing support and consistent guidance in addition to providing routine family and community-based activities. 

We carefully match each child with a Mentor based on their individual needs and provide ongoing support and continuing educational opportunities for all Mentors.  In addition, a Clinical Coordinator oversees implementation of an individualized treatment plan with emphasis on discharge planning to assure the child’s appropriate progress and transition to home, permanent placement, adoption or independent living.
