Program Standards for Treatment Foster Care
Revised, 2004

Initially published in 1991, FFTA’s Program Standards for Treatment Foster Care have helped define the model and set parameters to guide agencies in the private sector that provide Treatment Foster Care. The Standards have continued to influence child welfare and child behavioral health practices and provide direction for public agencies that develop programs and contracts for Treatment Foster Care. The Standards have been referenced by researchers, and utilized by accrediting bodies in defining Treatment Foster Care services and creating quality assurance processes.

The Standards includes a Standards Review Instrument, which agencies can use to conduct self-assessments.
