TCARE in Child Welfare

Support for every kind of care.

TCARE partners with child welfare leaders to support prevention, preservation, and reunification efforts by helping government agencies, Medicaid Managed Care Organizations, and private child welfare providers

• Identify caregiver strain early
• Strengthen caregvier protective factors
• Reduce placement disruption
• Support biological, foster, and kinship families
• Improve placement stability outcomes

Our structured model has been applied across diverse caregiving populations, including grandparents and other kin caregivers raising grandchildren and other family members, parents caring for children with disabilities/special health needs, and others involved in the child welfare space with robust outcomes through our "caring for the caregiver" approach.
