About our Program:Eckerd Connects' Foster Care is an approach that
caters to the physical, emotional, and social needs of children and

be reunited or a permanent placement through adoption can be
arranged. All children we serve in foster care receive an
individualized package of wrap around services that includes home
based individual and family therapy, educational support and
advocacy, linkage to psychiatric care when needed, and daily
instruction in identified need areas of basic living and social
skills to help the child gain the skills they were never taught
before. Eckerd Connects provides a continuum of wrap-around
