What Is Therapeutic Foster Care?
Therapeutic Foster Care (TFC) is a specialized foster care program designed to support children and youth ages 5 and older who have significant emotional, behavioral, or mental health needs. Through structured in-home care and enhanced professional support, TFC helps children experience stability, healing, and growth within a safe, nurturing family environment.
“Taking on children with high needs used to be so scary but we have so many resources now. You don’t stand alone with these high needs kids and they bring so much to your life…”
