Therapeutic Foster Care
Therapeutic Foster Care
Available to children and youth with special needs, from birth through age 18, who can benefit from therapeutic help in a family setting. Each child's specific needs are carefully assessed in order to match the youth to a foster home qualified to meet the child's needs and establish individual treatment plans. Foster care is also available to children and youth with complex medical conditions that might otherwise require hospitalization or institutional care.
Transitioning: Kindred Family Services also offers supportive services to transition youth age 16 and older into independence and to prevent homelessness by addressing the psychological, emotional and concrete coping skills needed for self- sufficency.
Alternative to Residential Treatment
For children and youth who need extraordinarily high levels of treatment in out-of-home placement. These programs are individually designed to make maximum use of community resources to maintain children in a family environment.
Whole Family Foster Care
Intensive support and collaborative services provided by skilled foster parents working with at-risk parents in foster placement with their own children. The goal is to teach parenting skills through modeling, example and education by the foster parents.
Specialized Foster Care Program
Designed for children and adolescents who require the high level of structure typically found in a residential correctional seting. Youth typically present with sexual offending histories, PDD/Autism Spectrum Disorders, significant mental health challenges, RAD, CD, hearing impairment or deafness and youth at risk of self-harm. Foster parents are trained in the identified therapeutic modality. They work closely with community institutions and programs to ensure continuity of services and implementation of after-care plans.
