THERAPEUTIC AND SPECIAL NEEDS FOSTER CARE | SPECIALIZED ALTERNATIVES FOR FAMILIES AND YOUTH OF AMERICA
Provides foster care for children who have been removed from the home by a county agency as well as hard to place children (such as those with behavioral issues, disabilities, or health issues). The children receive case management (to link them to appropriate community and medical services) and individualized services from a team of professionally-trained foster families and social workers. This program is intended as a short-term solution with the goal of reunifying the primary family whenever possible. Transition support for children who are aging out of the foster care system is also provided. Recruits and trains families who are interested in providing foster care to children with special needs.
