Treatment foster care (TFC) is designed to meet the needs of children who require a higher level of foster care. It is tailored to meet the unique challenges of children with treatment needs that range from moderate to high. Foster parents are also supported at a higher level through specialized training, respite services, dedicated support teams, and peer support.

TFC is family-based care, provided in your home. The focus is on the treatment needs of the children. There is an emphasis on trauma-informed care and child well-being.

As a treatment foster parent, you are part of a professional team.

TFC licenses available:

• Level 3 (Moderate treatment foster care)
• Level 4 (Specialized treatment foster care)
