  • Foster and Adoption Support Team (FAST)

    The FAST program was designed by Clarvida to support families and children that are involved in foster care, adoptive care or kinship care to increase their stability and to ultimately prevent disruption. These children must be enrolled in AHCCCS and Mercy Maricopa Integrated Care (MMIC), and they are or have been involved in the DCS/child welfare system. This program is designed to work directly with the entire family system, highlighting the strengths and needs to provide support over an intensive period of 60 days (on average). This program is intended to assist the primary caregivers in adapting to meet the needs of the children placed, prevent disruptions, and higher levels of care. FAST uses a trauma-informed perspective, as the belief is that every child that has been removed from a caregiver has potential trauma responses. A team is comprised of a Clinical Supervisor, a Family Support Specialist and a Family Resource Aide.

The FCC meets with the family one to two times per week for 5 months to work on identified treatment goals. There is an emergency phone number given to all participants during services that will ensure families can access assistance from the agency on nights and weekends also.

  • Regular Foster Care

    Regular foster care is the temporary placement of children who have experienced abuse or neglect and have been removed from their primary family by the Department of Child Safety (DCS), Tribal Social Services (TSS) or some other government agency. Foster parents provide a caring family environment for children while their primary caregivers work to remedy the reasons for the children’s removal, so the family can be together again.
