Programs for teens and young adults
While the goal of foster care is for every child to have a home, that doesn’t always happen. Thousands of teens are living in group settings, treatment centers, and even hotels. And they’re at risk for becoming adults without healthy family ties. Chosen provides services specifically for this at-risk population. Our customized programs include:
ADAYA
for at-risk teens who are displaced from their family
TBRI®: Trust-Based Relational Intervention
for at-risk teens who are displaced from their family
LAUNCH
for foster care alumni who exit the system without family connections.
