FFTA works to advance best practices and advocate for policies that support families in their care and treatment for children. Dating back to the 1980s our roots are in defining and promoting best standards in Treatment Foster Care to advance the field’s understanding of effective methods for serving families. Today, we work to advance Treatment Family Care as a vital resource in the continuum of child/family well-being and children’s behavioral health services across North America. With nearly 500 member organizations across North America, we lift up the voices and needs of those children and families our members serve. Our membership encompasses agencies, both public and private and large and small, from 47 states in the United States and Provinces in Canada.
