A therapeutic foster care program for adolescents, ages 12-18, with the goal of reuniting families, reducing delinquency and teen violence, and increasing prosocial behavior and participation in prosocial activities through behavioral parent training and support for foster parents, family therapy for biological parents, skills training and supportive therapy for youth, and school-based behavioral interventions and academic support.  The program is an alternative to group or residential treatment, incarceration, and hospitalization for adolescents who have problems with chronic antisocial behavior, emotional disturbance, and delinquency. Community families are recruited, trained, and closely supervised to provide TFCO-placed adolescents with treatment and intensive supervision at home, in school, and in the community; clear and consistent limits with follow-through on consequences; positive reinforcement for appropriate behavior; a relationship with a mentoring adult; and separation from delinquent peers. The program utilizes a behavior modification program based on a three-level point system by which the youth are provided with structured daily feedback. As youth accumulate points, they are given more freedom from adult supervision. Individual and family therapy is provided, and case managers closely supervise and support the youths and their foster families through daily phone calls and weekly foster parent group meetings. There is an emphasis on teaching interpersonal skills and on participation in positive social activities, including sports, hobbies, and other forms of recreation. Placement in foster parent homes typically lasts for about six months. Aftercare services remain in place for as long as the parents want, but typically last about one year.
