Some of our State’s most vulnerable children are in residential treatment centers or at risk of having nowhere to call home.
While these facilities provide essential support, these children may be better served in a home-like setting. Having a parental caregiver can help these vulnerable children achieve emotional and behavioral stability, heal from their trauma, and move toward permanency.
TFI Texas’s Treatment Foster Care program equips parents with the necessary tools to provide the care and structure children need in a family home environment. Children can achieve amazing levels of healing when their needs are met by creative, consistent, and committed caregivers.
As a treatment foster parent, you will receive comprehensive training, unparalleled support, and increased compensation beyond the standard foster care rate. This will empower you to provide trauma-informed, therapeutic services to children with complex emotional, behavioral health challenges, or other needs resulting from abuse or neglect. Treatment Foster Care (TFC) differs from our traditional foster care program through its team approach, most notably in the experience, education, and training of our TFC staff.
By opening your heart and home to these children from hard places, you can positively impact their future and provide a nurturing environment that may have otherwise been unattainable.
