Our Children’s Homestead services the most difficult foster care cases in DCFS. We make a commitment to help each child find success regardless of circumstance.
Our children are placed into homes with foster parents who are trained and committed to provide care. The child is assigned a case worker who provides case management specially designed for a particular child’s individual needs; the case worker meets regularly with the child and family to coordinate all of the child’s therapies and programs and to assess progress. The child is teamed with a licensed therapist who works with the child and foster parents to engage the child in programs like a therapeutic mentor program to overcome behavioral and socialization issues.
At OCH, we have realistic expectations for our children, and we help them reach each goal and recognize every success. Every child needs training, education, patience and encouragement. Our foster parents, case workers and therapists work closely to support their child’s needs and enable them to succeed.
