Program Description: A special type of service provided at TSA is our Full Family Foster Care Program. This program offers community based foster care placement for adult mothers and their child(ren) in a TSA foster home. The Full Family Foster Care Program is designed to eliminate the need for separation of child(ren) and mother when the need for county intervention and assistance is required due to parenting issues that are present, conditions of home environment do not meet the needs of the children in the home, or when the family is experiencing homelessness. Placing parents and children together in a foster home allows for the parent to receive on-site supervision, parent coaching and mentoring from foster parents.
Like its partner programs, our Full Family Foster Care Program is a foster care based, comprehensive treatment program that combines the normalization of family living with the benefits of coordinated therapeutic treatment services. Foster parents are ready to nurture, provide guidance and limits, offer tenderness and care to meet the needs of each special, unique child and their parent. The assigned Treatment Team**, consisting of foster parents, Mental Health Professionals and the Case Manager, meet to attend to specialized treatment and care plans for each client. The Treatment Team** model is the heartbeat of the program in the delivery of services to children and their families. Quality foster care, meaningful therapeutic services, coordinated efforts, and partnerships with families produce positive outcomes for children and their parents. Our program attends to the unique needs of clients with a multitude of issues. We are experienced in working with youths and their families with a myriad of mental health and chemical health challenges, family issues, and childhood trauma experiences. We encourage and invite family involvement in the treatment experience; and this program directly supports the parents of children in out of home placement by offering placement for the parent alongside the child in one of our specialized homes!
