Treatment Foster Parents Needed for Local Programs

The Village Network (TVN) is looking for some very special families to help foster both boys and girls across the state. The families will provide foster care for children and teens with behavioral and emotional difficulties. For more information call Treatment Foster Care at 216.641.8820.

"It's not an easy job," said Robert Sprague, treatment foster care program director, TVN, "but it is rewarding and we are with you every step of the way beginning with in-depth training."

TVN's Treatment Foster Care programs are developed as local programs and address the special and unique needs of the community according to Sprague. The programs combine the best elements of traditional foster care with innovative therapeutic parenting techniques. Masters-level therapists, case managers, psychologists and psychiatrists are part of the individual and family treatment plans of each youth.

TVN treatment foster parents receive the full support of the Network. In addition to specialized, expanded training, there are weekly team meetings and 24/7 on-call support. Each child and family has a dedicated, experienced, licensed TVN therapist. Foster parents will earn tax-free dollars, an annual training allotment and paid respite care.

Treatment Foster Care is available in Akron, Canton, Cleveland, Columbus, Delaware, Mount Vernon, Newark, Sandusky, Uhrichsville and Wooster networks.
