who we serve and where we serve
Our program supports youth of all ages experiencing placement instability or those at risk of instability, including those struggling with behavioral disorders or requiring additional support. This includes youth involved in adoption, family preservation, or investigation cases who need stability and resources to thrive. TPSU services are currently available in North Carolina, specifically in Wake, Buncombe, and Jackson counties; the Upstate, Midlands; and Hillsborough County, Florida.
