Focus of Program: The Family Treatment Home program provides therapeutic foster placement for at-risk children and youth, ages birth to 21.  Master's level clinicians serve as the primary staff contact with foster parents and provide 24-hour on-call support.  The program specializes in addressing clinical issues that hinder positive coping, healthy maturation, and permanency for foster children.  The program works form a treatment team approach, including biological family members, internal and external service providers, school personnel and other relevant persons to the child's success.  Adoption opportunities may be available for those children whose parental rights have been terminated.
