High Standards

Our standards for Treatment Foster Parents are very high. We believe we have the very best, talented and dedicated individuals who are motivated to care for children with complex needs. To be considered, all applicants must be 18+, pass a criminal check, and home study. Before placing any child in their care each applicant must complete all training.

Equal Opportunity

Red Mountain believes that a terrific Treatment Foster Parent doesn’t always fit a certain mold. We believe that their dedication to helping children is more important that the color of their skin, the person they love or the church they attend. We welcome all to apply to be a Treatment Foster Parent.

Safe

Safety is the number one priority at Red Mountain Family Services — for the clients we serve, their biological families, our treatment foster families, and our staff.
