The Matching Process
To ensure a positive outcome for TFC, the Namaste Admissions Director assesses the child's need for services. Then, those needs are matched with Treatment Foster Parents (TFP) who have the skills and family structure to best support the child. A Home Study Assessment of the TFP is available to the Legal Guardian for his/her participation in the matching process. A series of visits, including a 72 hour Pre-Placement Visit, take place with the child and the TFP. The Legal Guardian, the child, and the TFP all have to agree to the match. The attachment bond starts as a healing tool from the moment the child and the family meet.
