Community Residences, Inc. Therapeutic Foster Care Program began in 1994 providing support services to children with special needs committed to the Department Of Children And Families. The children range in age from three months to eighteen years old. Some children have significant behavioral, emotional and/or medical needs due to abuse and neglect by their biological parents that require and respond to treatment within a family setting.
The Program currently supports one hundred (plus) children in homes throughout Connecticut. Length of stay has ranged from three months to over six years. Supports provided to the children in care include intensive Case Management, visits within the home, behavioral modification and programming. Children blossom when provided with a safe, nurturing environment.
Foster Parents report that providing care to these children can be very rewarding. Children with special needs grow and thrive in homes with the guidance, nurturing and individual attention provided by caring Foster Parents. Children become a part of the family and learn to grow with them.
