All programs offered by FPCS are designed to maintain children at the lowest, least restrictive yet most appropriate level of care. The emphasis is on home- and community-based care as an alternative to the residential placement and treatment of children.

In line with the company’s stated mission to keep children within their communities, FPCS has developed a Therapeutic Foster Care (TFC) program. Children are referred to the TFC program to address serious emotional, behavioral and medical problems. The program is active, structured, and occurs in a licensed foster family home.

TFC is a clinically- and cost-effective alternative to residential treatment that combines the treatment practices typically offered in more restrictive settings with a nurturing and individualized family environment. The program adopts a wraparound approach that includes the family in treatment planning and seeks to include therapeutic support services in the care of the child and family. These services include Behavior Interventions, Case Management, Independent Living Skills training and transportation assistance.

FPCS is led by numerous professionals with a wide range of professional backgrounds and experience. This diverse and highly committed staff will continue to serve children and families in their communities, and respond to newly identified community needs.
