Since 1972, the non-profit organization Institute for Attachment and Child Development (IACD) has healed abused chlldren and kept adoptive families together. Open your home and heart while kids heal from early trauma with our clinical team, learn how to live in a family in a functional way, their adoptive parents get relief and training and the family gets therapy together. As part of the IACD team, you'll give abused children the much-deserved chance to grow up and thrive in their own strong, stable and healthy forever families.
Experience a different kind of foster parenting as an IACD house parent/treatment parent. Life as a treatment parent at the Institute for Attachment and Child Development includes-
Training
You'll get extensive and ongoing training directly related to your work with traumatized children. We meet as a team and provide education regularly.
Community
You’ll lean upon other treatment parents for a cry or a laugh. Or maybe some elbow grease around the house. Clinicians are always a phone call away for guidance. Local law enforcement get it. Educators will work alongside you. So you can do your job more effectively and without undue frustration. If you have kids battling trauma effects themselves, you'll get the added support of a team who understands and supports your family.
Professionalism
You’ll be an integral & essential part of the treatment team alongside our clinicians and the children’s adoptive parents.
A comfortable living
We provide a competitive and tax-free compensation ($95,160 per four children placed in your home) and fifty paid days off per year to treatment parents.
Happy good-byes
Our treatment parents give joyful hugs to the kids leaving their homes. Because it’s for good reason. They’ll be going back to their families – forever, thanks to you.
