What is Enhanced Intensive Services Foster Care (EISFC)?
Enhanced Intensive Services Foster Care (EISFC or E-ISFC) is a specialized form of foster care aimed at supporting children and youth with complex emotional, behavioral, or medical needs. These children require a higher level of care and attention than what is typically provided in standard foster care settings, and E-ISFC is designed to meet those unique challenges.
The Goal of EISFC
The primary objective of E-ISFC is to create a nurturing, stable environment that accommodates each child’s specific needs, ensuring they receive the therapeutic, medical, and educational support crucial to their development and overall well-being.
A Multidisciplinary Approach
One of the standout features of E-ISFC is its multidisciplinary team approach. Foster families are not left to manage the complexities alone—they have access to a network of professionals, including mental health specialists, medical personnel, social workers, and other experts. This team collaborates to develop individualized care plans, which are tailored to meet the child’s specific needs and challenges.
Highly Trained Resource Parents
E-ISFC resource parents receive specialized training to manage behaviors and health conditions that might be more challenging in a traditional foster care environment. This training equips foster families to handle a wide range of situations, from managing aggressive behaviors to caring for children with medical conditions. In addition to the training, foster families benefit from 24/7 crisis intervention services and ongoing support from the care team, ensuring they are well-prepared to provide the best possible care.
Addressing Trauma and Behavioral Challenges
Many children in E-ISFC have experienced trauma, abuse, or neglect, which may manifest in challenging behaviors such as aggression, withdrawal, or severe emotional distress. E-ISFC is structured to address these issues through tailored therapeutic interventions, including behavioral therapy, counseling, and trauma-informed care. The goal is not just to stabilize behavior but to help children develop skills in emotional regulation, social interaction, and academic success.
Comprehensive Medical Support
For children with physical or developmental disabilities or chronic health conditions, E-ISFC integrates medical care into the foster home environment. Foster parents are trained to manage medical equipment, administer medications, and coordinate with healthcare providers, offering a level of care that allows children to remain in a family setting rather than being placed in institutional care.
Why EISFC Matters
E-ISFC offers a holistic, supportive environment for children who may not thrive in traditional foster care settings. By providing enhanced training, access to a team of professionals, and continuous support, E-ISFC at AFS aims to help children achieve stability and growth in their emotional, behavioral, and physical health. This approach reduces the likelihood of placement disruptions, giving children the opportunity to heal, develop, and experience a sense of belonging within a family.
At Alternative Family Services (AFS), the focus of E-ISFC is to help children and youth not only survive but thrive, by addressing their complex needs with care, compassion, and a comprehensive support system. This specialized form of foster care is critical for giving children the opportunity to grow and heal in a loving, family-based environment.
