The program helps kids whose needs go far past those in traditional foster care. Therapeutic foster care supervisor Bianca Richardson said kids in the program face tougher challenges than those in standard placements. "Our department has the children in foster care who have behavioral diagnoses, mental health diagnoses," Richardson said, according to WECT.
