CHI - SPECIALIZED THERAPEUTIC FOSTER CARE

Description:

STFC is a program designed for children and adolescents who are identified to be in need of intense therapeutic services. Children served are victims of domestic violence, parental neglect, abuse and abandonment. Parental figures are not able to provide proper care for their children, thus resulting in their temporary or permanent removal from the home. Placement in therapeutic foster care helps the child to learn to live in a healthy family environment and become an active member of the community. In addition, they are taught to develop a healthy attachment to their care givers and to trust and process emotional traumas.

Therapeutic foster parents are trained to handle severe behavioral outbursts and trauma, while helping the children process the emotional separation from their loved ones.

While in foster care the child receives in-home therapy once or twice a week. Additionally, a therapist visits monthly to observe how the child interacts with the foster parents and others in the community.
