Hurting children in foster care need a safe place to heal from hard histories. Often, they need support that goes beyond the traditional foster home. One approach is to place these children and teens in group settings where they are expected to do the hard work of healing among other youth. Treatment foster care is an alternative to that approach. Caring adults willing to receive specialized training to care for children with significant emotional, behavioral, or medical needs can create a safe environment within their home that is an substitute to group treatment. Treatment foster homes licensed through Ember Hope receive additional resources and services to heal the impact of abuse, neglect, grief and loss, including life-on-life support from Chosen’s team. Together, we can help hurting children get on a path of healing.
