Community Youth Services provides Therapeutic Foster Care Services for youth who are 8 – 18 years old and are referred by Washington State’s Division of Children & Family Services. The program utilizes a multi-systemic treatment team approach to provide intensive home-, community- and school-based services designed to ensure placement stability, improve school functioning, decrease behavioral challenges, increase pro-social skills and improve mental health. The program also recruits, trains, and licenses its own foster parents. Services include:
- behavior management support
- in-home parenting support (teaching non-traditional parenting skills that are effective with youth who have experienced trauma)
- case aide support to families
- respite care
- 24/7 crisis support
- individual and family therapy
- access to community and school based services (Individual Education Plans, mental health, etc.)
- medication management
- transportation services
Foster parents and homes are needed. Please call Amanda Phinney at 360-943-0780, ext. 104 for more information. |
