Connects' Therapeutic Foster Family Home (TFFH) care is a distinct,
powerful, and unique model of care that provides children with the
combination of best elements from traditional foster care and
residential treatment centers. TFFH programs provide in a
clinically effective and cost-effective way, individualized and
intensive treatment for children and adolescents who would
otherwise be placed in institutional settings or remain in
traditional intensive foster care setting where they may not
receive the interventions necessary for their individual issues.
These children have serious levels of emotional, behavioral, and
medical problems. TFFH is active and structured and occurs in the
foster family home.It is paramount that an active, evolving
relationship and dialogue be maintained by the TFFH professionals,
foster families, and children in care. Having an established
relationship allows children, foster parents, and biological
parents to address concerns, behaviors, and issues without having
to share details of previous trauma to new people.Our Office
