Standards and Practices FFTA’s Program Standards for Treatment Foster Care have helped define the model and set parameters for the field. They are designed to assist agencies in the development of quality Treatment Foster Care services for children and families. Since its landmark publication in 1991, the Standards have influenced child welfare and child behavioral health practices and provided 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. Last updated in 2004, the Standards reflects a new understanding of key components of TFC while honoring the time-tested wisdom of previous versions. Individuals are invited to recommend updates to the Standards, for future consideration by the Standards and Practices Committee. Copyright © 2004 Foster Family-based Treatment Association |
