Who the Foster Care COE serves? We serve any child who is or has been in out-of-home care who is in need of primary care or consultation services. We also perform initial health evaluation screening exams for children entering foster care. Referral from a DCYF case worker is requested for the consultation service which provides comprehensive medical and psychological evaluations and report with team planning meeting.

How might the Foster Care Consultation clinic help?:

Diagnostic clarification

Treatment Planning and Recommendations

Parenting support and resources

Consultation around many behavioral concerns

What to expect in the consultation clinic? The typical first visit lasts approximately 3 hours and will be with a pediatrician and a clinical psychologist. Some children and families may need only one visit, but some may need more than one visit.
