Our Credential for Foster Care
Adriel holds its foster care license and credential for foster care through the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. ODJFS develops and oversees programs that provide health care, employment, economic assistance, child support, and services to families and children.
Adriel is certified by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. OhioMHAS's mission is to provide statewide leadership of a high-quality mental health and addiction prevention, treatment, and recovery system that is an effective, valuable, and important credential for foster care in Ohio.
The Council on Accreditation (COA) accredits Adriel. COA accreditation, another important credential for foster care, measures the entirety of an organization (programs as well as administrative practices) against national best practice standards.
We are a member of the Teaching-Family Association (TFA). TFA represents Adriel and other agencies that support common elements and tenets of the Teaching-Family Model (TFM). TFM providers participate in an organized community of practice that holds them accountable for performance standards. Today the Model serves a wide range of families and children.
