Therapeutic Foster Care
Therapeutic foster care (TFC) is out-of-home care by foster parents with specialized training to care for a wide variety of children and adolescents, usually those with significant emotional, behavioral, or social issues or medical needs. Therapeutic foster care is designed to provide safe and nurturing care to a child or youth in a more structured home environment than traditional foster care, and it can be a cost-effective alternative to residential treatment.

Intensive Treatment Family Care
Intensive treatment foster care (ITFC) provides treatment for a school-aged child who has experienced trauma and may have behavioral, medical, developmental, and/or intellectual challenges. An ITFC child will require more specialized therapeutic services to enhance his/her well-being. An ITFC family receives a number of additional supports such as a professional treatment team, counseling services, 24/7 crisis response, and trauma-informed training.
