Intensive Treatment Foster Care

Intensive Treatment Foster Care is one of the foster care programs we operate.

Intensive Treatment Foster Care (ITFC) specializes in children that are harder to place in traditional fosterage because of heightened emotional and/or physical needs.

The staff at ITFC utilize comprehensive reports and case management to provide 24 hours a week of extra support counselor involvement, individualized treatment plans, pre-certification training and weekly therapy. The staff also proactively collaborates with county placement workers to develop and work with specially trained foster families.

ITFC is unique in that it offers a virtually one-to-one relationship between staff, child and families for multiple hours a day. Weekly check ins and on-going emotional support add to the high degree of support that has proven to be a successful model for FAA agencies.

If you are interested in becoming a foster family, please contact Social Worker Gail Lewis, LMFT, at 831.662-9081 X212.
