Rename HCTC for children as Therapeutic Foster Care
I direct an HCTC program for youth in Maricopa County, for Christian Family Care Agency. We have eleven therapeutic foster homes. I would like to suggest that we stop calling the program HCTC, and call it Therapeutic Foster Care, as the rest of the nation does. Arizona is possibly the only state that uses a somewhat cryptic name, more appropriate to dealing with adult Developmentally Disabled, than with children in a homelike setting.
Thank you for your comments. Your opinion is very important to us and so is the topic. We’ll take this into consideration as we move forward in the world of therapeutic foster care. Feel free to always share your thoughts with us.
