Therapeutic home based care
What is therapeutic home based care?
Therapeutic home based care, or THBC, is specifically for children or young people who have complex needs and require more extensive, specialised support. Providing THBC gives young people the safety and comfort of a family home alongside access to the one-on-one attention and therapeutic support they need.
To be a THBC carer you need to have a therapeutic background or be willing to undertake specific training. This type of placement is an intensive role, and requires the carer to stay home full-time.
It is truly wonderful and heartwarming to provide foster care and support for these two young boys, showing them love, stability, and guidance during this crucial time in their lives.

Other types of foster care.
No two young people are the same, and no two carers are either. We offer a variety of different care types for young people and carers to best match their needs and way of life.

Emergency care
Care provided at short notice, often after-hours and on weekends, when there are concerns for a young person’s immediate safety.

Home based care
When your home isn’t an option, you may be eligible to be a carer staying in one of ours.

Long term care
Permanent placements and guardianship for when a young person isn’t expected to return to their birth family.
