Therapeutic Foster Homes

Hale 'Opio's Therapeutic Foster Home Program differs from traditional foster care in its emphasis on Professional Parents who provide the youth with ongoing family-based treatment and daily opportunities for success.

One parent is considered the Primary Professional Parent and does not work outside the home. Both parents must have the same level of commitment and receive the same extensive training and support.

Clinical consultation is available 24 hours a day by Hale 'Opio's Masters-prepared Parent Supervisors. Services are provided to the youths' birth families through regular therapy and 'ohana' outings.
