We are excited to be working with Oakland Family Services to bring the TFCO model to the Pontiac, MI area! Congratulations to the OFS team on adding this evidence-based treatment foster care model into their continuum of services to support youth and families in their community.

Oakland Family Services has launched a new program aimed at helping kids with emotional and behavioral challenges heal and thrive in family homes rather than in institutions. They are looking for foster families to go through the training and certification while paving the way with the new program.....

Congratulations, Humana Individ & Familj!

Först i Sverige med nytt behandlingsprogram för unga! 🎉
Nu har Humanas Göteborg Öppenvård haft sin utbildningsvecka i TFCO-C, ett behandlingsprogram för barn med beteendeproblematik Därmed är de Sveriges första TFCO-C-team!
TFCO (Treatment Fostercare Oregon) är ett evidensbaserat behandlingsprogram som rekommenderas av Socialstyrelsen. Vi är glada att kunna erbjuda programmet för den yngre målgruppen barn med allvarlig och komplex beteendeproblematik. (C:et i TFCO-C står för Child, 7-11 år).

Behandlingen är multisystemisk, det vill säga arbetar med barnets situation i olika miljöer och sammanhang samtidigt. Det innebär att förändringar för barnet, med familj/omsorgsperson, i skolan, på fritiden och med vänner, sker välplanerat och koordinerat. Under tiden bor barnet i en behandlingsfamilj med särskild inriktning och kunskap om TFCO.

Humanas TFCO-team har implementerat, utbildat och handlett i TFCO-tonårsprogram sedan 2000 och är stolta och glada att äntligen kunna erbjuda ett evidensbaserat behandlingsprogram för den yngre målgruppen inom TFCO. En verklig milstolpe!

Trina, Supervisor of Clinical and Implementation Services at TFCC, and Lindy, Consultant at TFCC, visited Bangor, ME and Portland, ME last week to deliver two Deeper Dive events! Together, they led discussions that explored Therapeutic Intensive Home (TIH) project updates and the TFCO model structure, treatment tools, and fidelity. 🎉

This was a valuable opportunity to share and learn about the work the provider agencies have completed, the work completed by the state, and a clinical overview of the TFCO model!

This event was sponsored by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, in collaboration with Maine’s Office of Behavioral Health, Maine’s Office of Children and Family Services, Maine’s Department of Corrections, Acentra Health, provider agencies, and TFC Consultants, Inc.

This fall, several of our youth reached major milestones, completing programs and moving toward independence. Moments like these remind us why this work matters.

At a recent graduation, one of our foster parents shared these words with their youth:

“You’ve worked so hard, been so brave, and learned to see life in a brand-new way. You’ve shown us that laughter and bravery can go together, and reminded us why we do what we do: to help kids find hope even when things seem dark. Always remember that there are people who care about you and believe in you.”

These moments, full of courage, love, and growth, are what make foster care so meaningful.

Every milestone matters. Every connection counts.

Site Visits are an important part of TFCO implementations! Their purpose is to provide coaching and ongoing training to team members with an emphasis on supporting the Team Leader role. Site Visits also provide opportunities for technical assistance and program evaluation. Activities during Site Visits are tailored to meet the specific needs of each team... and they often include a lot of fun, too! Here is TFCC Consultant, Piper, visiting team members from The Guidance Center. 🙂

In 2022, research conducted by Leslie D. Leve, Maria Schweer-Collins, and Elizabeth Bates found that the prevention of delinquency can have long-term benefits for both the individual and society. It was discovered that youth receiving the TFCO intervention are 5 times less likely to have child welfare involvement when they have children of their own.
