About Kids in Care
The Kids in Care project originated in late 2007 as an enhancement project of the Bucks County Family Friends program. It was out of a countywide commitment that the need to provide support to children in Residential Treatment Facilities was discovered. With this recognition, Kids in Care began its initial development on the basis that children in residential treatment facilities (RTF) often have little or no natural support in their lives. Because of this, Kids in Care was designed as a way provide natural support to youth in behavioral health residential treatment facilities by matching them with mentors in order to promote their recovery and resiliency.
