NY: New Children’s Home program offers modern approach to foster child mental health (Includes video)
WWNY – March 20, 2023
The Children’s Home of Jefferson County has been chosen to be part of a new treatment foster care program aimed at helping youth who are most at risk. “Treatment Foster Care Oregon Program, or TFCO, is a clinically intensive program where we have a foster family where one parent has a flexible job or is possibly a stay-at-home parent,” director of clinical operations Austen Labarge said, “and they only have one foster youth and they have a 24/7 team of therapists available to work with this kid.” This program has just kicked off and needs foster parents willing to take a modern approach toward mental health in the foster care system.
