REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

Therapeutic Foster Care

Plumas County Behavioral Health is seeking proposals for Therapeutic Foster Care parents or an

agency willing to provide and train the therapeutic treatment service model in Plumas County for

foster parents.

The Therapeutic Foster Care (TFC) service model is an intensive, frequent, highly coordinated,

trauma informed and individualized rehabilitative service that is provided to a child/youth up to age

21 with complex emotional and behavioral needs.

These services are needed to maintain foster youth in family-based home settings while promoting

permanency for the youth through family reunification, adoption or legal guardianship.

TFC parents serve as key participants in the therapeutic treatment process of the child/youth. TFC

services assist the child /youth in achieving client plan goals and objectives, improve functioning

and well-being and help the child to remain in community settings, thereby avoiding residential,

inpatient or institutional care.

For more information on eligibity criteria, key service components for Therapeutic Foster Care refer

to the Department of Health Care Services website
