When a child has experienced significant trauma, neglect, or emotional hardship, healing isn’t just about therapy sessions—it’s about daily life. That’s where Treatment Foster Care (TFC) in Virginia steps in. At Intercept Health TFC, we believe that healing happens through strong relationships, consistency, and compassion, right in the heart of a supportive foster home.
What Is Treatment Foster Care in Virginia?
Treatment Foster Care is a specialized form of foster care designed to support children and teens who have emotional, behavioral, or mental health needs that go beyond what traditional foster care can provide. It combines the structure of a loving home with individualized therapeutic support, provided by a team that includes mental health professionals, case managers, and trained foster parents.
The Healing Power of Home
For many children in TFC, home hasn’t always been a safe place. They may have experienced trauma, instability, or repeated disruptions in their care. In TFC, healing begins with simple, powerful things:
A stable routine
A patient, understanding adult who listens
A home where mistakes aren’t punished, but worked through together
Consistent structure that builds a sense of safety
When a child begins to feel secure, they begin to trust. And when trust is present, healing can truly begin.
