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. *[Read Oliver's story](https://caspa.org.au/?hsLang=en)* ##### Oliver, therapeutic home based carer ### How do we support you? - ![training](https://caspa.org.au/hubfs/training.svg) ##### Skills Training On-going immersive and trauma informed training to give you the tools you need. - ![person-care](https://caspa.org.au/hubfs/person-care.svg) ##### Extensive support A support team that is available 24 hours a day and regular check-ins from a dedicated support worker. - ![support](https://caspa.org.au/hubfs/support.svg) ##### Financial support.
