Foster Care services provides community based foster homes for children and youth who are unable to remain in their home of origin due to abuse, neglect, dependency, delinquency, family conflict or caregiver substance abuse. NYAP specializes in therapeutic foster care to meet the needs of older youth and adolescents with emotional and behavioral challenges and those with specialized medical needs.
Services include the provision of safe, supportive, nurturing living arrangements in licensed foster homes. A primary focus of services is the preservation of and connection to family through visitation between the youth and their family, and strong involvement of the family in the care and treatment of their child.
