raley & Thompson, Inc. is a therapeutic foster care agency that provides a range of services throughout the Commonwealth. Services in the Woodbridge location provides parenting classes, traditional foster care, therapeutic foster care, and short-term foster care for temporary respite. Short-Term Placement Service provides respite to caregivers by placing the child in a treatment foster home on a short-term basis. The temporary stay gives caregivers an opportunity to stabilize their environment, make it safe, and build supports to maintain the family unit and prevent placement of the youth in a more restrictive setting. Short Term Placement includes the supervision and support of the foster family, professional case management, and emergency services. This type of placement is approved and funded by the locality in which the youth resides.
