Therapeutic Foster Care: An Overview
Thousands of children need treatment foster homes
Omni’s foster parents often tell us that being a therapeutic foster care parent is the most challenging—and most rewarding thing—they’ve ever done.
Yet you’re never alone. Omni Visions provides training, support, and guidance. All therapeutic foster parents receive financial assistance, which covers the child’s food, housing, clothing, transportation and treatment needs.
Once you complete the licensing requirements and training, you are eligible for a child or teen to be placed in your home. And while the goal of most foster placements is to return the child to their birth family, therapeutic foster care is often a step towards adoption.
Why Foster a Child?
There are many reasons to foster a child, but the number one reason is that children who have been abused and neglected need you.
Foster Parent Qualifications
The qualifications for fostering children are simple and include being financially stable and having a home with a separate bedroom that can accommodate a foster child.
Support Services
Omni provides its foster parents with a wide variety of services, including training sessions, 24/7 on-call support, and a resource coordinator who provides guidance and assistance.
Foster Parents are Critical
On any given day, over 400,000 children are in custody in the United States. The recruitment of foster homes is a critical need.
Learn how Omni empowers foster parents by lifting up those around us on behalf of these deserving children.
