Foster Care by Foundations

A loving space, a safe haven, a home.

This is what every child of every age deserves. Sometimes, biological families are not able to provide the care and support children need.

Foster Care by Foundations Health & Wholeness extends compassionate services to children in need of temporary or permanent out-of-home placement. We specialize in carefully matching children and teens with foster parents capable of providing the stability, love, and hope they require until they can reunite with their families, be adopted, or transition to independent living. Our commitment begins with recruiting, training, and licensing our foster parents, ensuring they possess the skills necessary for the unique challenges of fostering.

In close collaboration with counties across Wisconsin, we actively accept referrals for children and teens in need of out-of-home care, placing them in our licensed foster homes. Our meticulous approach guarantees that children and teens are thoughtfully paired with foster parents who meet their specific needs, providing them with the optimal conditions for success. Post-placement, our focus shifts to advocating for our foster families, offering unwavering support to both the children and parents involved. Employing a 24/7 case management approach, we guide families step-by-step through what may very well be the most rewarding times of their lives.

Treatment Foster Care

Foster Care by Foundations is a treatment foster care program, licensed by the State of Wisconsin. Treatment foster care, also called therapeutic foster care, is out-of-home care by foster parents with specialized training to care for a wide variety of children and adolescents, usually those with emotional, behavioral, or social issues or medical needs. Treatment foster care is designed to provide safe and nurturing care to a child or youth in a more structured home environment than typical foster care. Foster parents typically receive additional supports and services. Foundations has treatment foster homes throughout Wisconsin.

Our team works with each child and foster family to approach treatment with:

• Wrap-around support
• Consistency and structure
• Therapeutic parenting
• And other supportive services.

We work with foster parents to ensure that they are trained, confident, and supported before they work with children and teens in need of treatment foster care.
