What is Treatment Foster
Care? |
 |
"Treatment Foster Care is a distinct, powerful, and
unique model of care that provides children with a combination of
the best elements of traditional foster care and residential
treatment centers. In Treatment Foster Care, the positive aspects of
the nurturing and therapeutic family environment are combined with
active and structured treatment. Treatment Foster Programs provide,
in a clinically effective and cost-effective way, individualized and
intensive treatment for children and adolescents who would otherwise
be placed in institutional settings."

Foster Children
Each day in Ohio, there are over
18,000 children living in a foster home. The
children that are placed in the Treatment Foster
Care system suffer from serious emotional,
behavioral and/or psychological problems stemming
from the effects of abuse, neglect, addictions,
domestic violence, and poverty. |
