Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care (MTFC) is an evidence-based model of foster care designed for youth who are working to overcome emotional or behavioral issues. Beech Brook’s MTFC Program is the first of its kind in Lorain County.
The goal of Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care is to provide a structured, supportive environment to stabilize teens and prepare them for reunification with their parents or permanent caregivers as quickly as possible.
MTFC parents care for just one youth (between the ages of 12–17) at a time, usually for six–nine months. With guidance from the program supervisor, MTFC parents implement an individualized, highly structured program for each youth to help them work toward their goal of returning to their families.
Because they play such an active role on the treatment team, MTFC parents receive excellent compensation and support from their professional team members. Crisis intervention is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
If you’d like to learn more about becoming an MTFC parent, please join us for an Information Meeting. Our staff is available every Tuesday at 5 pm to tell you more about the program and answer your questions. We’ll also be happy to make an appointment to meet with you at your convenience.
