Our Services
and levels of care
We are a Child Placement Agency
Foster First provides CPA services from the ages of 0-17. We help children and families resolve problems, assist parents in enhancing their protective capacity, and progress toward permanency. Whether this means assisting for short-term, long-term, or on the path to potential adoption. Most of the children we place in our program are between the ages of 5-17.
We provide the highest level of support to families every step of the way from emergency placement to our matching process. The counties we serve are Yakima, Benton, Klickitat, Kittitas, Franklin, Chelan, Douglas, and Grant.
We offer Behavior Rehabilitation Services (BRS)
Behavior Rehabilitation Services (BRS) is a temporary intensive wraparound support and treatment program for youth with high-level service needs. The program’s goal is to safely increase the child’s behavioral, school, and placement stability — and potential to reach permanency. With the focus of developing the necessary supports that would allow the child to maintain or develop a permanent family connection.
BRS youth are placed in a trained therapeutic foster home to respond to the many behaviors of the child.
Foster First provides support to therapeutic foster families and youth through qualified Case Managers and Family Facilitators. Our team meets regularly with youth and involves the foster families with the implementation of the youth’s treatment, supervision and safety plans.
Foster First works in collaboration with the child’s social worker and all other professionals to support the child. We additionally offer after-hours on-call support for crises.
Right Response
Foster First offers Right Response training, equipping individuals with de-escalation strategies to navigate high-stakes situations effectively. This training provides proactive tools to prevent escalation and manage crises with confidence.
