The Strengthening Foster Children and Families (SFCF) program provides in-home counseling for children in out-of-home care whose goal is reunification with their biological family. The program works with both foster children and their resource parent(s), with the goals of enhancing the child and family relationship and improving the child’s behavior in order to stabilize the placement or reduce the number of disruptions. The program works with resource families who are in need of loss and separation education, building attachment, and improving their foster child’s home and school behaviors. All children who have experienced trauma would benefit. Resource parent participation is required.
