The mission of the Family Focused Treatment Association (FFTA) - formerly Foster Family-based Treatment Association - is to strengthen agencies that support families caring for vulnerable children. Established in 1988, FFTA is the leader in Treatment Foster Care (TFC) with over 450 member agencies throughout North America. Agency professionals work with trained TFC parents to assimilate therapeutic treatment within the foster family for foster children diagnosed with serious emotional, behavioral, and/or medical difficulties.
