Editor's Note

From the Desk
of the Executive Director:  

Here we are at the time of year of holidays and celebration, of hopes for newness and wholeness in a new year! My shopping is done and the presents wrapped; the holiday cards and messages sent (yes....this year electronically...oh my!); office work about to be caught up and finished for a few days of family and relaxation.

Yet I have one more acknowledgement and MAJOR thank you to deliver. And I want to do it publicly on behalf of all member agencies of the OTFCA, our staffs, and the families and children we serve.

THANK YOU, WYJUANA MONTGOMERY and THE OKC THUNDER NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION!

You have generously provided basketball tickets last year and this year for hundreds of foster youth, their foster families and the staff of professionals who serve these youth and families! You have brought joy, excitement, and community to therapeutic foster youth who would otherwise not be able to share an evening of this magnitude with their families and other families. You have given a lift to hard-working, tirelessly giving foster care therapists and directors. You have shown those struggling with life's unfair acts that goodness and hope abound.

On behalf of our community, we thank you!

What is Therapeutic Foster Care?

Therapeutic Foster Care (TFC) is specialized care for children and youth with special medical, psychological, social and emotional needs who can accept and respond to the close relationships within a family setting, but whose special needs require more intensive or therapeutic services than are found in traditional foster care. TFC provides youth with a family-based treatment alternative to more intensive levels of care.

January OTFCA Board meeting will be held January 20, 2010.
