Therapeutic Foster Home

Teach, Empower, and Support

By the end of 2019, FFCH will have its first therapeutic foster homes available to children that qualify. Our mission is to provide support to our foster families during a youth’s transition back into a traditional home setting.

Many children’s behaviors remain dysregulated and they aren’t ready to make the transition into a traditional foster home. They’ve also been in treatment facilities for a longer period of time and require an adjustment period to learn how to live in a home setting. This is where a therapeutic foster home comes into play.

Therapeutic Foster Homes are the bridge between residential settings and home settings. These special Homes have highly trained Foster Parents which receive additional and continual trainings through FFCH to assist them in making this a successful transition. Similar to aftercare, Therapeutic Foster Homes will have a trained specialist working with them, visiting them, and assisting. 24/7 on call services will also be available to the families. The program runs for 6 months with meetings and evaluations along the way of the child’s progress within the home setting.
