Therapeutic Foster Care and Adoption > Therapeutic Foster Care
Every child deserves a family...
We serve South Dakota children and families to help them live in a safe, nurturing environment. In some cases, therapeutic foster care provides a safe place that gives a child and birth family an opportunity to resolve conflicts and learn healthy skills that may allow the child to safely return home. In other cases, children need a "practice family" to experience what it is like to be part of a healthy family before moving on to a long-term placement such as an adoption.
By becoming a therapeutic foster parent in South Dakota, you can help a child become part of a healthy family dynamic and help build a foundation of hope for them to succeed. If you are interested in pursuing adoption, the best way to achieve this and gain immeasurable experience is by first becoming a therapeutic foster parent.
Therapeutic Foster Care
Therapeutic Foster Care serves children who have experienced abuse, neglect, traumatic life events, and often, the loss of their family. Or, some children may have significant medical issues. Many of these children have built walls around themselves to avoid being hurt again. As a result, many have difficulty managing their emotions and may present challenging behaviors.
Parenting a child who has experienced trauma within a family can seem overwhelming at times. Being a therapeutic foster parent to a child with such needs is not easy, but you won't be in it alone. We are with you each step and at every turn to provide assistance, guidance, tips, and training.
We developed our Therapeutic Foster Care program to specifically meet the needs of these children and families. Our program is exclusively operated by our own staff. Working together with you, we help children recover from trauma and prepare them for reunification or adoption.
