 MTFC Training

An MTFC foster carer from our consultant MTFC team in Oregon conducted a two day training course, on the 28th and 29th July 2009, on multidimensional treatment foster care. The training took place in the Daughters of Charity Child and Family Service head office in Santry and was attended by those who have either been approved or who have commenced assessment for approval as TimeWise foster carers. The training provided a valuable insight into the model of multidimensional treatment foster care and how to implement it with a young person on the programme.

'Foundations for Fostering' Training Course

 From those who made telephone enquiries, some have now successfully completed the ‘Foundations for Fostering’ training course which took place in November 2008, May and September 2009, and April 2010. Their comments about their experiences so far to becoming Foster Carers with TimeWise include; “I thought the course gave me a good insight into fostering, especially with regard to birth parents and foster children’s feelings.” “I feel that TimeWise may fill a very important gap for children who have been separated from their birth family”.

TimeWise are now again seeking to recruit more Foster Carers living in North Dublin, Louth and Meath and will be hosting the Foundations for Fostering training course again during the year for all new prospective foster carers. If you would like further information, please do not hesitate to give us a call: (01) 842 45 25 Actively looking for foster carers NOW!

Welcome to 
TimeWise Fostering

TimeWise Fostering is a partnership between the Daughters of Charity Child and Family Service and The Health Service Executive. TimeWise is based on a model called
‘Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care’ (MTFC) which was originally developed by the Oregon Social Learning Centre in the United States.

It is a treatment model of foster care that focuses on making positive changes in young peoples lives. This is achieved by foster carers working in collaboration with the TimeWise team. Together they work with the young person for a defined period of time to achieve better outcomes for the young person so they can return home when possible.  

TimeWise are now actively looking to recruit foster carers to provide placements for young people for up to one year, as well as short term respite breaks. If you are interested, please give the team a call on 01 842 45 25.
