Why We Chose Therapeutic Foster Care

You

can make a

Difference

Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley are experiencing unacceptable rates of teen suicide, family and community violence, homelessness, child maltreatment, substance abuse, and overstressed families.

No child should be unsupported when experiencing behavioral health challenges.

With your help, we can make a difference.
