What is the Foster One Program?

The Foster One Program is a short-term treatment program based on the Treatment Foster Care Program (TFCO) that gives a child the opportunity to grow and learn positive behavior techniques in a home environment instead of a residential facility or group home. The treatment team, which includes Foster One foster parents, work together to deliver consistent expectations, structure, and guidance as well as patience and kindness. Foster One is evidence-based with proven positive outcomes.

You can learn more about the Foster One program during our monthly information sessions.
