  • About our Program

    Eckerd Connects' Foster Care is an approach that caters to the physical, emotional, and social needs of children and youth in a supportive family setting until the natural family can be reunited or a permanent placement through adoption can be arranged. All children we serve in foster care receive an individualized package of wrap around services that includes home based individual and family therapy, educational support and advocacy, linkage to psychiatric care when needed, and daily instruction in identified need areas of basic living and social skills to help the child gain the skills they were never taught before. Eckerd Connects provides a continuum of wrap-around services for the family from the first inquiry call until the child graduate’s high school.
