Therapeutic Foster Care is specialized foster care for children and youth
with special medical, psychological, social and emotional needs who can accept and respond to the close relationships within
a family setting, but whose special needs require more intensive or therapeutic services than are found in traditional foster
care. WYI Therapeutic Foster Care program provides youth with a family-based treatment alternative to more intensive levels
of care. Services provided by the WYI Therapeutic Foster Care program facilitate the positive emotional adjustment and
growth of the child. Outpatient services are offered to children who have stepped down to a lower level of care but
who will still benefit from counseling during the transition period.
Wesleyan Youth, Inc.'s philosophy is to facilitate the child's positive
and behavioral adjustment and to strengthen the child's ability to function effectively in the community. Therapeutic Foster
Care provides a family-based treatment alternative for youth in the custody of the Department of Human Services or the
Office of Juvenile Affairs.This is provided through the establishment of treatment-oriented and trained foster homes.
The Therapeutic Foster Care and Outpatient Services programs provide a comprehensive system of mental health care to
meet the necessary and changing needs of children, adolescents, and families in the State of Oklahoma.
