Guest blogger Lisa Neill, senior program manager of the Treatment Foster Care Program discusses assessment services with a foster parent in the program.

Through the Treatment Foster Care Program (TFC), Ranch Ehrlo has professionalized foster care. Our caregivers are provided with training, clinical and consultative support, and respite services.

Because of the resources available and already in place at Ranch Ehrlo, we are able to offer an integrated range of treatment delivered by a multidisciplinary team. Foster parents are invited to participate with the assessment service team in the treatment planning and implementation for children in their care.

Foster parent Trevor discusses how and why he accessed Ranch Ehrlo’s clinical assessment services for a child in his care and how the assessment helped their relationship.
