The Treatment Foster Care Program provides therapeutic services for children and youth whose special needs cannot be met in their own families. These special needs include, but are not limited to, emotionally disturbed and behaviorally disordered children. Effort is focused on promoting the goals of maintaining the same community placement and permanency planning for each child in treatment foster care. This program will demonstrate how natural families and foster families, in real proximity to each other, can share the work of reduction of trauma and adversarial conflict in these very serious situations; and the reduction of loss and grief reactions of children and parents which are hard to overcome. Children are spared the radical separations from school, friends, relatives and a familiar community which are also often followed by problems of re-entry when foster care placement ends. The Foster Caregivers are trained, supervised, and supported by agency staff.
Like all programs and services provided by the Rosemont Center, the treatment approaches for the therapeutic foster care program are based upon: family systems, brief-solution oriented, asset building, and competency-based approaches. The master's level therapists with this program develop a treatment team that includes the foster family, biological family, referral source, school and any other providers involved with the family. The goal is to not only collaborate regarding treatment, but more importantly to eliminate the inherent loyalty conflict that occurs with foster care placement.
