EFC Service Array

When stable, the child participates in individual therapy to build coping skills, self-regulation, address any identified needs and unpack their trauma; each child also receives a quality, treatment plan specific to their individual needs.

Service providers offer tailored treatment and counseling services to the EFC child and their resource family. They provide clinical information to the rest of the team through a crisis plan, treatment plan, and participation in meetings, as well as 24-hour crisis stabilization support for the child and family. They are a key source of therapeutic parenting information and guidance for the resource family.

Pressley Ridge; which is the same training required for TFC parents is provided to all EFC families.

Resource parents participating in the program are required to complete additional training that equips them with skills to therapeutically respond to a child in EFC services.

This training covers topics like therapeutic communication, understanding and changing behavior, conflict resolution, and understanding and managing crisis.

EFC supports therapeutic parenting by guiding and requiring resource families to use intentional parenting techniques that foster feelings of safety and connectedness.

Through this, a traumatized child can begin to heal and learn how to securely attach. Examples of this service include, but are not limited to, family therapy, a Systems of Care family support provider, or an intensive placement stabilization program.

Systems of Care wraparound can be utilized when appropriate for a child and resource family but it is not required as part of EFC services.

Monthly quality discussions and documentation around several topics including strengths, services, child functioning, discipline, parenting, support, and self-care. During the quality visits, specialists reiterate concepts being discussed with the family’s treatment team, helping to ensure that the resource family is engaged in services. Benefits of quality in-home specialist visits include support to the resource home/child, increased placement stability, and overall better outcomes for our children and families.
