Together Facing the Challenge (TFTC)

Together Facing the Challenge (TFTC) is a program based out of Duke University in the United States. It is designed to be a low-cost approach to improving treatment within the existing structure & practice of a wide range of treatment foster care (TFC) agencies. The training and consultation approach is used by TFTC to improve the skills of treatment parents and their TFC agency staff. The model focuses specifically on the in-home intervention elements (and creating adequate skill levels to implement these strategies effectively) and on the important role of supervision and coaching in helping treatment parents work effectively.
