What is Treatment Family Care?

Treatment Family Care (TFC) is a specialized form of foster care that provides intensive, family-based support for children with significant emotional, behavioral, or medical needs, offering a more structured and therapeutic healing environment. The TFC program is designed to be a short-term treatment phase as the child heals and recovers in a home, as we work towards permanency.

MBCH is seeking Christian families for this ministry. Being a TFC parent is a full-time job and requires at least one parent to remain at home or for the parent to have a flexible job to accommodate the child’s needs. We are also seeking families who will take TFC children on respite for a weekend to help give TFC homes a break, or in case of an emergency.

Benefits of becoming a TFC family include:

  • Additional trauma-informed training
  • 24/7 support and crisis intervention
  • Support staff in the home weekly
  • Help navigating all systems (medical, legal, school, etc.)
  • Clear treatment goals for the children in the home
  • Additional funding for foster parents
  • Agency support for gifts, clothing, furniture, etc.
  • TFC Specialists become active members of the Family Support Team and help families develop resources in the community
  • Last but not least, you will be able to provide a structured and loving home to a child in need
