Therapeutic Foster Care

We partner with the State of Oregon’s Department of Human Services (DHS) to offer this higher level of care to foster youth. Our homes are uniquely trained and supported to meet the needs of each youth with an individualized service plan, outlining goals to help the youth work towards during their placement.

Placements are meant to be short-term in order to help youth stabilize and find permanency as soon as possible. Each youth is unique and the timeframe for their placement will vary depending on their needs. This means some placements may last a year or longer, with others lasting only a few months.
