Learn More we are strong together Our Services (TFCO) was developed as an alternative to institutional, residential, and group care placements for children and youth with severe emotional and behavioral disorders. Multiple randomized trials confirm a number of positive results. The model is tailored to the unique developmental needs of children from ages 7 to 17 years. TFCO was formerly known as Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care (MTFC). Childhood Referrals are typically received from child welfare and mental health case workers. Children referred to TFCO-C are between the ages of 7 and 11 and in need of an out-of-home placement due to serious emotional, behavioral or mental health problems. Adolescents Placements in TFCO for adolescents are typically 9 months in length and rely on intensive, well-coordinated, multi-method interventions conducted in the TFCO home, with the youth’s discharge home, and with the youth in the community including academic support. Why TFCO? The two main goals of TFCO are to create opportunities for youth to successfully live in a family setting and to simultaneously help parents (or other long-term family resource) provide effective parenting. TFCO focuses on five key areas: (1) a consistent, reinforcing environment with mentoring and encouragement; (2) daily structure with clear expectations and specific consequences; (3) a high level of youth supervision; (4) limited access to problem peers along with access to prosocial peers; and (5) an environment that supports daily school attendance and homework completion.
