Foster care agencies help with child behavioral issues through trauma-informed therapy, professional counseling, foster parent training and 24/7 crisis intervention. Navigating behavioral challenges can feel overwhelming and is a valid concern, but support is available.
Specialized Psychological Counseling
Counseling and therapy services help children work through trauma and challenges they face, building mental and emotional skills. These services can increase positive behavior and teach children how to cope with stressors in healthier ways.
While many agencies provide psychological support for children, Knotts Family Agency also provides specialized counseling and psychological support for foster parents. These services help you maintain your well-being, navigating the emotional challenges and rewards of fostering with confidence.
Training and Education
Training and education help you understand the causes of different behaviors and how to navigate them with a nurturing approach. Knotts Family Agency offers respectful, compassionate training to empower you in your fostering journey. Through our services, you can access specialized training in trauma-informed care, advanced caregiving techniques, and behavioral management. You can also receive additional stipends if you pursue over 40 hours of annual training.
24/7 On-Call Support
Foster care agencies offer 24/7 on-call support, intervening if you need extra help navigating a challenging behavior. At Knotts Family Agency, dedicated personnel and experienced social workers are available around the clock, providing peace of mind and immediate support if needed.
Foster Parent Support and Respite Care
As a foster parent, your mental health and well-being are just as important as your foster child’s. Knotts Family Agency takes a unique approach and offers extra support for foster parents. We understand that fostering and managing challenging behaviors can impact your emotional well-being, so we offer exclusive services to promote self-care. Our deeply ingrained Parent Delight philosophy is the cornerstone of our agency, and we are dedicated to meeting your needs and the needs of the children in your care.
We treat you as an equal partner in the rewarding endeavor of caring for children. You can rest and recharge while we offer qualified childcare or respite foster care services. Whether you need care for a night out with your spouse or a weekend to catch up on errands, taking time for yourself and your needs is vital when fostering.
We also host a Family Fun Day event to help your family and foster children bond in a supportive family environment. This is an excellent opportunity to help your foster child build trust, develop healthy social skills, and connect with other kids who understand what they’re going through.
