Calgary, Canada McMan Full time

Do you have a passion for working with youth? If so, our Therapeutic Foster Care Team could use you

McMan Calgary & Area is looking for **Therapeutic Foster Parents** (TFP's) for our **Therapeutic Foster Care Program** for youth ages 13-17. We are looking for loving, caring, and temporary homes for youth. These youth require responsive, committed, and skilled caregivers to help them grow and develop their strengths.

**Program Description**

Therapeutic Foster Care (TFC) is a family-based alternative to congregate care. Therapeutic Foster Parents (TFP) will be supporting the individualized and complex care needs of youth 13-17 years old in your home with ‘you’ in the parenting role.

Therapeutic Foster Parent’s are individuals who play a significant role in promoting the achievement of outcomes for children in their care. Therapeutic Foster Care combines positive aspects of a nurturing and therapeutic family environment and therapeutic interventions. These foster parents recognize that every interaction between themselves and a child has the potential to be therapeutic and healing one. Therapeutic Foster Parent’s will focus on honouring cultural practices, well-being and building positive connections.

TFP’s will be fully supported by a team including a family specialist, team lead, youth worker, and a clinician. There may also be Elders, Cultural Knowledge Keepers and biological family involved. The Therapeutic Team provides support to develop and implement an individualized and child specific Therapeutic Care Plan and, where applicable, a culturally focused plan. TFP’s receive higher levels of specialized caregiver training beyond the current standard foster care requirements both pre
- and post-placement. TFC model incorporates more agency supervision/guidance, coaching, and a high level of support (i.e., 24/7 telephone support and responsive 1:1 service for Therapeutic caregivers).

**Expectations/ Considerations**

It is a necessity to have an understanding of trauma, it’s impact on the child and parenting the child based on the information. The trauma informed framework begins by a shift in thinking
- going from “What is wrong with you?” to “What has happened to you?”
- Can you work as part of a professional team? (Strong communication skills, timely responses, organized, administrative task completion)
- Will you follow through on individualized plans, behavior strategies and recommendations?
- How will you accommodate differences in culture, religion, customs, diet?
- How will you meet the demands of parenting while ensuring you meet substantial training requirements?

**Completion of the following steps**:

- Information Session & Application
- Initial In-Home Consultation
