Helping Hand Home
Our Foster Care and Adoption Program provides basic, moderate, and therapeutic care for children birth to 18 throughout Austin and the surrounding areas. HHH was founded on the principle of providing safe and loving homes for children, a principle that remains true to this day. Our team is committed to providing children with homes where they can heal and grow while also ensuring our foster and adoptive parents are supported and valued. We provide quality training and 24-hour on-call support by trained staff that every parent knows and trusts. We also provide qualified childcare for biological, adopted, and foster children during annual training events. We emphasize the value of community by conducting all of our trainings in person during which parents are able to learn through various teaching methods and connect with other parents along the same journey. We value our parents and honor them with two days of paid respite per foster child monthly.
Our parents are equipped with the knowledge and skills to meet all basic or therapeutic needs. For parents interested in providing care for therapeutic children, we are able to offer hands on training to put into practice what is learned from our classroom style content in our on-site residential treatment center. Foster and Adoptive parents can be given the opportunity to transition children from the residential treatment center into their homes as a long-term placement which allows the parents and children to establish relationships while also providing opportunities for the children to maintain connections with the direct care staff that initially helped them heal and transition to a home setting. Children in our agency are provided continuous guidance from contracted therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists.
