Foster Care

Family Foster Care

Caring for Children’s Family Foster Care program offers services to children in the custody of the Department of Social Services in North Carolina, Buncombe County. Providing long-term foster care placements, we support children as they await reunification with parents or the location of an appropriate guardian, or until adoption. Stay durations vary, spanning from a few months to over a year.

Therapeutic Foster Care

Our Specialized Level II Mental Health Foster Care Program addresses the needs of youth with histories of behavioral, emotional, medical, and/or mental health challenges. Licensed foster parents undergo trauma-focused training to guide these children through healing and success. Case Managers offer intensive support during the child’s stay, which can range from weeks to several years based on individual needs and therapist recommendations.
