Our Foster Care program provides boys and girls ages 4–17 with emotional or behavioral difficulties an opportunity to live within the community in the naturally therapeutic environment of a family. Our foster parents are trained, supervised and supported by the Laurel Heights Specialized Foster Care Treatment Team.

Family consultants work with the foster family, birth parents, case managers and the child to ensure that therapeutic, academic, social and medical needs are met. Family consultants also provide 24-hour on-call support, and work closely with case managers and birth families to support family reunification goals.
