Family Treatment Home Program
FCBHC offers therapeutic foster care for children and adolescents who need consistency, structure, and who might otherwise be placed in a more restrictive setting. FCBHC staff work with foster parents to provide a supportive and nurturing environment specific to the health, safety and well-being of the child in care.
To be considered for placement in the Family Treatment Homes program, the children and adolescents must:

Meet SED criteria, as assessed by a Behavioral Health Clinician. Assessment is based on severity of mental health needs and behavioral issues that affect home, school, and/or family.
-
Be at risk for out-of-home placement
-
Be eighteen years of age or younger
-
Have been considered for less restrictive care and determined inappropriate
-
