Enhanced Treatment Foster Care
A Home For Youth In Need
Maryland currently has around 4,000 youth in foster care. While most of these children and teens have stable homes, a small group of 20-30 youth, at any given time, are living in hospitals or hotels due to a lack of available families. These youth often face significant challenges such as:
- Histories of trauma
- Mental health needs
- Developmental disabilities
- Autism
These vulnerable youth need dedicated, compassionate families who can provide the care and stability they deserve.
Make A Difference
We are seeking families who are ready to make a meaningful difference.
- Have a family member available to the youth 24/7.
- Dedicate around 5 hours per week to services that support the youth’s development.
- Welcome youth between the ages of 12 and 20 into their home.
How Arrow Supports
- A higher stipend to allow families to be available to the youth
- 24 hour access to Arrow staff
- A dedicated case manager , family centered treatment practitioner and Behavior Support Specialist
- Paid respite
- Training in Together Facing the Challenge, an evidence-based foster parent training program
