Inside Therapeutic Foster Care

Raintree specializes in Therapeutic Foster Care, which isn't ordinary foster care, it's for youth who have extensive trauma or intense medical needs. The Foster Household is viewed as the primary treatment location, which caters to physical, emotional, behavioral and social needs. The team is made up of the foster parent(s), a therapeutic case manager, the child and his/her biological family or reuniting caregiver, and the Department of Child and Family Services worker. Our Foster Parents are selfless and

highly motivated to help local youth. If you want to be a foster hero with Raintree, apply today!

Family Support Coordination

FSC serves the most children out of our three programs. Helping youth and families who experience developmental delays is important for their growth. Our case managers are well equipped with tools and techniques to help you, and your family thrive. If you think your child has a delay, contact us for more info.

Raintree House

Raintree House is home to 14 youth between the ages of 11 and 21. Residents have experienced neglect, abuse, or lack of supervision. Raintree is there for children who "slip through the cracks" - children society often forget about. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have experienced a childhood without adversity. We combat these issues by providing a stable, nurturing, and caring environment with essential resources.
