FFT-FC is an evidence-based, clinical intervention model for DCF-involved children and their families. Using a relational lens and a strong focus on the family unit, FFT-FC aims to strengthen family relationships, address behavioral challenges, and support long-term stability for youth in care.
In their role as Performance Improvement Center, CHDI will partner with DCF, provider agencies, FFT model developers, families, and other partners to support the implementation and delivery of the FFT-FC model by providing continuous quality improvement support to foster care agencies offering FFT-FC across the state.
There are currently nine FFT-FC providers responsible for recruiting, licensing, and supporting approximately 588 FFT-FC-level foster homes statewide.
