What is Treatment Foster Care (TFC)?
Treatment Foster Care (TFC), also known as therapeutic foster care, provides specialized care for children who require extra attention and support due to past trauma, abuse, or neglect. TFC parents are equipped with specialized training to meet the unique needs of these children, ensuring they receive the nurturing and stability they need to heal and grow. This program offers a higher level of care compared to traditional foster care, providing children with additional services that help them thrive.
