Take the First Step to Becoming a Treatment Foster Parent
You may have heard of traditional foster care, but do you know about Treatment Foster Care? This foster care program is for youth and adolescents with behavioral, emotional, or medical needs. RISE Services, Inc. Idaho invites you to learn more about Treatment Foster Care — what it is, who may need it, and how you can become a Treatment Foster Parent.
What Is Treatment Foster Care?
Some adolescents in foster care have exceptional needs that require specialized support from a qualified, trained, and licensed Treatment Foster Care, or TFC, parent. Treatment Foster Care utilizes trauma-informed and strengths-based training to help provide a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for foster youth with behavioral, emotional, or medical needs. TFC provides stable, healthy, and family-oriented homes where adolescents receive the proper care they need while waiting to be successfully reunited with their biological families.
Who Needs Treatment Foster Care?
TFC is for youth who require support beyond what traditional foster care can give. RISE Services, Inc.
