Community Care Services’ Foster Care Program is known for its intensive foster care model. This program provides intensive therapeutic family care for what has been typically described as a group of “difficult to serve” children and adolescents. Community Care Services’ Intensive Foster Care Program has experience in offering:

·          support to families with a serious background of family violence

·          diversion from psychiatric hospitalization

·          transition from residential services

·          specialized care for parenting teens

·          disrupted adoption

Services are delivered by an integrated multi-disciplinary team of Community Care Services’ professionals, including social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, experienced management staff, and a network of specially trained foster parents. Foster parent to client ratio in intensive foster care is 1:1 at all times. At least one foster parent is always home to provide adequate supervision

Intensive Foster Care is in need of foster parents to provide 24-hour therapeutic care to children (ages 12-18) who cannot live at home due to previous neglect, emotional, physical, sexual abuse and/or current family crisis.

We provide a comprehensive network of supports for all foster care providers which includes:

·        24 hour on call support

·        Initial training (MAPP)

·        Educational training (20 hours a year)

·        Home-based support

·        Monthly support groups
