We are not your ordinary foster care agency that just drops children off at a foster family’s door, leaving the rest of the work in the hands of the foster parents. Journey Home’s purpose is to help children and support our foster parents.
Journey Home Foster Care works in conjunction with the state of Ohio to recruit, train, monitor, and license foster homes.
Treatment foster care or therapeutic foster care placement is for a child that needs a higher level of care.
There are instances a child is immediately removed from their primary residence in a crisis situation and a rapid placement is needed.
Respite is a temporary break for caregivers and their families and is a vital part of support services for parents who are fostering children.
Emergency respite care is an unscheduled break due to a crisis that can occur in any household. In an attempt to deescalate a difficult situation, emergency respite care is utilized to allow everyone (both the foster parent and the child), a cooling down period.
As part of our Foster Care Program, we offer a thriving Independent Living Program that has been quite beneficial in preparing youth in foster care for emancipation and transitioning into adulthood, including lighting the path for youth to transition to the Ohio Bridges Program.
One of the first and also one of the most important steps foster and adoptive parents complete is Pre-Service training. Required by the State of Ohio, these classes are designed to educate you about the children available for adoption and to prepare you to parent them.
Quality Moments, is a specialized counseling agency focused on the most vulnerable of our population. Our purpose is to provide trauma informed care to children, adults, and families that are struggling with mental health, addiction, and interruptions to their family systems.
The Journey Home Difference
At Journey Home, we understand that children learn from their experiences. Children in foster care have already had many obstacles in life, and we want their experiences in foster care with us to be positive. We desire to build lasting connections to help children realize their potential, to give them a reason to have hope, to believe in themselves again, and to begin to heal physically and mentally.
