The Pressley Ridge Treatment Foster Care (PR-TFC) Pre-Service Training can be incorporated as part of your T3C Treatment Model implementation. PR-TFC focuses on preparing staff and families with the competencies needed when caring for youth from a trauma-responsive lens. Preparation is only one component of a fully implemented Treatment Model. Each organization must determine how they will integrate the training into their organizational culture. We encourage organizations to revisit their agency policies, procedures, and practices to ensure the PR-TFC coaching strategies are woven into the fabric of your daily work.
