These children range in ages from 10 to 18, but the majority of children are 13 to 16 years of age.

In addition to the HRT worker these children have a Probation Officer who supervises their case and makes sure they complete their probation.
Is the Foster Care licensing process the same?
Yes, you will follow the same process as regular foster parents and be licensed as a Professional Foster Parent. You must also complete training in Crisis Prevention Intervention. See Be A Foster Parent.
