Treatment Family Foster Care (TFFC)
Treatment Family Foster Care (TFFC) is a research-informed, multi-tiered team approach to rebuilding family relationships. We work with children and teens who need high levels of support due to trauma they have experienced in their homes or communities. Each youth is carefully matched to foster parents and a treatment plan specific to the needs of the youth is developed. Our foster parents are provided enhanced trauma-informed training, and wraparound services to ensure the placement is secure until permanency is achieved.
Youth in Our Care
Youth in our foster care programs range from 0-21 but are often tweens and teens who have experienced high levels of trauma and separation from their families.
Treatment Team
Foster Parents are part of a treatment team that provides support for both the foster parents and youth in foster care. This team assists the youth with case planning, provides therapy services, and helps them build skills to set them up for success in their communities.

Parents go it alone for their kids all the time, but single foster dads are uncommon. This doesn’t have to be the case.
