What characterizes youth who would be served by Heart of the Community, Inc.?
Children eligible for therapeutic foster care range from infants to age 18, although they are typically school aged. While the Heart of the Community, Inc. program primarily serves Alamance County, children from surrounding counties (up to 150 miles from the Heart of the Community, Inc. office) may also be considered for placement. Therapeutic foster children may have: been abused physically, emotionally or sexually; faced many different challenges; experienced some type of major trauma which has resulted in behavioral and emotional issues; had several failed placements; difficulty in multiple settings, including home, school or in the community.
