Therapeutic Foster Care

Therapeutic Foster Care (TFC) provides specialized, in-home support for children and youth ages 5 and older who have significant emotional, behavioral, or mental health needs.

These children benefit from a higher level of structure, consistency, and care than traditional foster placements can provide. Through enhanced training and ongoing professional collaboration, therapeutic foster families help create safe, stable home environments where healing, growth, and long-term stability can begin.
