Foster Parent Training
Therapeutic Foster Care (or Treatment Foster Care) provides a stable home for children and adolescents with significant emotional, behavioral, or social needs. Our foster parents are specially trained to bridge therapy and everyday life for these children. Compared to traditional foster care, Therapeutic Foster Care offers a more structured environment, incorporating trauma-informed, therapy-based practices for children and adolescents needing greater behavioral, emotional, or social support.
We train Arizona families to provide stable homes for children and adolescents with significant emotional, behavioral, or social needs. Our training helps you create a structured environment that integrates therapy-based practices for children requiring additional support. Keep in mind that we’re always licensing respite providers as well. Respite providers go through the same training and licensing process. Depending on the license, they can offer services in their own home or in a foster parent's home for a night, a weekend, or longer if needed.
Trauma-informed Curriculum
Our trauma-informed, evidence-based curriculum focuses on the behavioral health needs of foster children and youth. Training occurs over a 4-6 month period and consists of approximately 60 hours of learning.
All it takes is a phone call with our agency to start. Our reimbursements are higher than typical foster care reimbursements. After an initial screening, we’ll schedule the orientation process and guide you through the training step-by-step.
We also assign you a dedicated Clinical Support Specialist who will support you by answering your questions, facilitating home visits, attending Child and Family Team meetings, and more.
