Family Focused Treatment Association (FFTA)

FFTA is a leading non-profit association in North America with a legacy of advancing best practices and advocating for policies that support families in their care and treatment for children. FFTA’s roots span back 35+ years, historically focusing on defining and promoting best standards in Treatment Foster Care, to advance the field’s understanding of effective methods for serving families. Our work today is at the intersection of both formal and informal mental health and child welfare service systems. This work is anchored in the importance of developing and nurturing supportive communities for all. We have nearly 500 member organizations from 47 states, as well as Puerto Rico, Bermuda, Canada, and Australia. Through 24 State FFTA Chapters, we support integration of local- and federal-level bast practices and policies. As an association, our vision is more communities where those who support families feel supported, and all are thriving. We leverage collective knowledge, proven solutions, innovation, and inclusion to advance wellness for all families and communities.
