Therapeutic Foster Care
Unique Therapeutic Foster Care Programs
What is Therapeutic Foster Care?
Therapeutic Foster Care is a treatment model that provides a structured home environment focusing on a child’s mental health and healthy skill building. This program is often used to aid children who will transition to a less intensive program before returning to a permanent home setting.
During a child’s time in the therapeutic foster care home, treatment parents will work to manage the behavioral and medical needs, while a child learns to self-regulate.
Our Treatment
Approach
Alexander Youth Network partners with several agencies and uses evidence-based practices in the treatment of children in our therapeutic foster care homes. While in therapeutic foster homes, children are in a stable environment to receive treatment for their mental health problems, trauma-based behaviors, or severe emotional disturbances.
Foster care parents are trained in the Together Facing the Challenge and Pressley Ridge Model for Therapeutic Foster Care. All of our parents are fully licensed and trained to care for our children.
