Foster Care in Texas
Foster care in Texas relies on strong, family-centered approaches to support children and youth from diverse backgrounds. NYAP provides individualized, evidence-based services that address each child and youth’s developmental, emotional, physical, and cultural needs, while connecting families to vital community resources and support, as appropriate.
Foster parents receive comprehensive training and ongoing support with a focus on safety, trauma-responsive care, and effective behavior management. When appropriate, foster parents also serve as primary family mentors, building meaningful relationships, strengthening stability, and promoting long-term well-being for children and youth.
