Treatment Foster Care

Our Kids…

Oftentimes our Treatment Foster Care children have experienced multiple out-of-the-home placements and life changing challenges or tragedies that have led to disappointment and social, emotional, and behavioral disturbances.  Whether their goal is to be reunited with their family, to be adopted, or to learn skills needed for independence, the mission of Treatment Foster Care is to provide these children with a loving family environment that will nurture, heal, and grow a young person’s spirit and belief in his future.

Our Program...

Counseling Services of Eastern Arkansas (CSEA) accepts children aged 2-21 who are in the custody of and referred by the Division of Children and Family Services. The program serves children throughout Arkansas and foster homes are available in Crittenden, Cross, Lee, Monroe, Phillips, and St. Francis counties. Our Treatment Foster Care homes vary by ethnicity, religion, family composition and socioeconomic status.  All Treatment Foster Care homes share a goal of providing children with a family environment where children are offered hope and acceptance.  

CSEA has operated a Treatment Foster Care Program for Arkansas’ children for over 20 years.  In that time, we have seen children reunited with their families, develop life-long relationships with their Treatment Foster Parents, and grow to be healthy, happy adults.  The road is often bumpy, filled with potholes, swerves and curves, and sometimes races much too fast.  But in the end, it is a trip that both Foster Parent and child are glad they took.
