When you become a foster parent, you are part of a child’s forever story.

Treatment Foster Care (TFC) differs from our traditional foster care program through its team approach, most notably in the experience, education and training of our TFC staff.

As a treatment foster parent, you will receive comprehensive training, unparalleled support, and increased compensation beyond the standard foster care rate. This will empower you to provide trauma-informed, therapeutic services to children with complex emotional, behavioral health challenges, or other needs resulting from abuse or neglect.

By opening your heart and home to these children from hard places, you can positively impact their future and provide a nurturing environment that may have otherwise been unattainable.

We are thrilled you are ready to get started and we are here to help you every step of the way!

Here’s how the process works in Missouri:

STEP ONE

Complete the initial form (above on this page) and you will be assigned to a Foster Home Preparation Specialist who will help answer any questions and get you started on the process.

STEP TWO

Once you are approved and pass all background checks, our dedicated team will walk you through every step of the onboarding process including training and home study.

STEP THREE

After completing all requirements, you will be assigned to one of our foster care workers. You can take your first placement as a licensed foster parent!
