Triad’s counseling center’s therapist’s services are free to the agency’s children, the foster couple, and the foster parents’ children. Non Triad children are funded for this service through MediCal. Triad’s Social Worker makes the referral to the counseling center. The therapist will contact the foster family to arrive at a mutually agreeable time for the weekly appointment. The therapist will consult with the Triad Social Worker and with the foster parent at the beginning of the counseling process. The family may or may not be a part of the counseling session. The alliance between the child and therapist is confidential and must remain that way.
