About
Social Services:Permanency Planning and Disclosure Support TFC assist ill parents with creating a sound future care plan for his/her children. Helping a parent or caregiver develop a viable plan for the future care of his/her children is a complicated task. TFC supports the ill parent through a difficult set of discussions about their mortality and their children's future. Parents are educated about the planning process and the services and entitlements that would be available to the new caregiver in the event of the client's death. We explore with the ill parent possible vulnerabilities in the client's desired plan with the goal of anticipating and addressing any obstacles to the proposed plan. Individual and Family Supportive Counseling -- TFC offers individual and family counseling to its clients. Individual counseling services focus on addressing issues related to illness, trauma and loss, as well as on parenting, self-efficacy and self-care.
