Treatment Foster Care Oregon (TFCO) is a highly effective alternative to institutional and group care placements for children and youth with severe emotional and behavioral disorders. Through tailored interventions and support, TFCO aims to create opportunities for youth to successfully live in a family setting while simultaneously helping parents or long-term family resources provide effective parenting.
TFCO focuses on providing a consistent, reinforcing environment with mentoring and encouragement, daily structure with clear expectations and consequences, high levels of youth supervision, limited access to problem peers, and an environment that supports daily school attendance and homework completion. With a strong emphasis on evidence-based interventions, TFCO has been proven to prevent institutional or residential placements, reduce delinquency and violence, improve academic engagement, and enhance attachment and brain stress regulatory systems.
