Why TFT Program was originally formed.....one youths needs came first
The TFT Program was added originally to serve just one youth who was stepping
down from one of our Level III residential treatment facilities. This youth's team
requested that she be in a Level II home that used a similar program to the Youth
Quest residential treatment homes, namely the Teaching Family Model. After some
research, it was found that there were no Teaching Family Level II Therapeutic
Foster homes in the area. Youth Quest stepped up to the challenge and was able to
add this valuable service to all youth who live in our local community with highest
priority. We do, however, serve all youth in the state of North Carolina who need this
valuable service.
