Therapeutic foster care is different from traditional foster care. It’s designed to help children who have mental health needs as the result of trauma and provides counseling and/or medication, in addition to a safe and nurturing home. Therapeutic foster parents undergo specialized training to learn how to create an environment where these children can thrive.

First founded as a psychiatric hospital in 1882, KidsPeace offers services across the country, including in North Carolina. Since its founding it has treated more than 300,000 people in need and continues to make a difference, giving children peace and providing stable environments where they can grow and become successful adults.
