What are therapeutic and treatment level foster care?
Private foster care agencies in CT have contracts to provide foster homes for children ages 3-17 with more acute needs. These two foster care programs are called therapeutic foster care and treatment level foster care and are designed for children who have extraordinary psychological and/or special medical needs. A higher rate of monthly reimbursement is provided to these foster parents since the care, expectations and training exceed the expectations of general foster care home providers. FAM partners provide additional training and support to families who choose to provide either of these levels of care. Please visit their websites or contact FAM for additional information.
