Foster Care

Treatment Care

Treatment foster care is designed for children with severe emotional challenges who come from an institutional setting or are likely to be placed in one. Typically, these children have a history of severe abuse, neglect or chaotic home lives. The goal is to provide a supportive family environment in which a child's struggle to forge a normal life has the greatest chance of success. The critical needs of these troubled children are addressed through treatment strategies developed by multi-disciplinary teams of professionals.

Transition to Adulthood

Casey Family Services is committed to helping foster children make the transition to independent adulthood. A successful transition to independence is a challenge for any young person, for many foster children that challenge becomes nearly insurmountable when they are abruptly cut off from services or required to leave foster care at age 18 (or when they graduate from high school). We help foster children prepare for a successful transition and provide them with necessary support once they "age out" of the system. In most cases, the key elements of a successful transition are completing school, making plans for the future and finding an affordable place to live. Casey Family Services helps young adults make these and other critical short- and long-term decisions by providing a variety of services from tuition and housing assistance to counseling and training.
