About our Program Eckerd Connects' Therapeutic Foster Family Home (TFFH) care is a distinct, powerful, and unique model of care that provides children with the combination of best elements from traditional foster care and residential treatment centers. TFFH programs provide in a clinically effective and cost-effective way, individualized and intensive treatment for children and adolescents who would otherwise be placed in institutional settings or remain in traditional intensive foster care setting where they may not receive the interventions necessary for their individual issues. These children have serious levels of emotional, behavioral, and medical problems. TFFH is active and structured and occurs in the foster family home. It is paramount that an active, evolving relationship and dialogue be maintained by the TFFH professionals, foster families, and children in care. Having an established relationship allows children, foster parents, and biological parents to address concerns, behaviors, and issues without having to share details of previous trauma to new people.
