Kinship ResourcesFFTA’s Kinship PhilosophyAll children belong in families, preferably their own families. When children cannot safely live with their parents, they should have every opportunity to live safely with relatives or those with whom they have a family-like relationship.FFTA’s Vision for Kinship Treatment Foster CareConsistent with FFTA’s kinship philosophy, FFTA’s vision is that children in out-of-home care with treatment needs can have those needs met by relatives or those with whom they have a family-like relationship, with access to the full array of training, services, and supports available through treatment foster care to help them stay safe, achieve permanency, and thrive.Kinship Therapeutic Foster Care in North CarolinaFFTA has been awarded a second three-year grant of $1,025,000 from The Duke Endowment to continue developing and implementing a therapeutic support service model for Kinship families. Building upon several Kinship Summits that FFTA held in states around the country from 2015-2018 and with the support of the Endowment, FFTA launched this Kinship Therapeutic Foster Care (KTFC) pilot project in 2020.Kinship Treatment Foster Care in NC FFTA's Kinship Foster Care ToolkitThe Kinship Treatment Foster Care Initiative Toolkit is a collection of what we've learned through research, summits, professional expertise, and tried-and-true strategies.
