Therapeutic Foster Care

This program incorporates treatment for the physical, psychological, or emotional needs of the child/youth placed with a specially trained foster family. It’s intended to be a step-down placement program

Children placed in these homes will have a goal of being placed either through reunification of a permanent placement.

The Purpose of Therapeutic Foster Care

The foster home provider is in the role of co-parent and provides all the basic areas of supervision, encouragement, and guidance to the child/youth. They are the change agent in supporting a child/youth’s work through emotional and behavioral issues which are often a result of prior trauma, abuse, and neglect. The therapeutic foster care provider will teach and model new skills to assist the child/youth with successful re-integration into their identified permanent placement.

The anticipated start date for this new program is at the end of 2023.

Adams County Child Welfare is excited to announce we have earned two Human Rights Campaign seals. The “You Are Welcome Here” and “Innovator” seals. These seals represent the Adams County foster families and staff’s commitment to ensuring that the LGBTQ Community is wanted and welcomed to participate as foster and adoptive families.
