SPECIALIZED THERAPEUTIC FOSTER CARE (STFC)
 
Specialized Therapeutic Foster Care (STFC)-is a program designed to treat dependent children with one or more mental health diagnosis that have failed in regular foster or group home placements or have severe emotional or behavioral issues that require higher levels of treatment and supervision but do not meet criteria for residential treatment.  The STFC homes provide a higher level of structure and treatment than your traditional foster homes and the parents have additional training to help the children stabilize and return to their permanency plan.
