What therapeutic or treatment foster care may look like

Описание: In truth, when I signed up to be a therapeutic foster care provider, I did not know what it fully entailed. I knew I needed to take extra training, but I was not fully prepared for the specialized care I would be providing and the full range of services and providers I would be coordinating and participating in.

My hope with this video is to showcase some of the things that come along with providing therapeutic or treatment foster care. It isn’t for everyone, and I urge you to consider everything before saying “yes” to a child who needs a higher level of care. Even if you have the additional training to provide therapeutic foster care, I would encourage you to consider thoughtfully before saying yes. Kids may have been in multiple homes before you and really need committed and compassionate caregivers.

For those who are new to this concept, therapeutic or treatment foster care is specialized care for kids who have higher level of medical, behavioral, or emotional needs.
