Foster Parents Needed

Open Your Heart and Home to a Special Youth in Need Through Therapeutic Foster Care

Many local foster children are in need of a place to heal. Family Services of Westchester’s Therapeutic Foster Care (TFC) program offers loving, stable homes and foster parents to children who, for various reasons, are unable to live with their birth parents or family members at this time. The children are from all social, economic and ethnic backgrounds and between the ages of 0-21. The youth in this program are special in that they may have behavioral, social, medical, or emotional struggles.

Therapeutic foster parents are provided with extensive training and professional support including respite care and 24 hour on-call support. Therapeutic Foster Care’s foster parents give children the chance they deserve for a family, a home and a future.
