Services > Helping Teens and Their Families 3 Different Ways

ODFT, Inc. has been truly blessed to be able to help Teens and their families over the past decade. If you are a parent in need of good old-fashioned advice or know of someone who is feel free to contact us.

The services we are offering come from good hard work and daily living with Teens.

That's our credentials. None other implied or suggested.

 

Foster Care for Teens

Since the inception of Open Door for Teens, Inc., the Keenons have foster parented over One Hundred Fifty (150) Teens! more >>

Families Helping Families

After all that personal foster care experience, Paul and Jill found that they had a lot to share. So they began helping families in crisis with one-on-one meetings, seminars and parenting advice. more >>

Helping Foster Parents

It soon became apparent that not only did the Teens need help, but so did the Foster Parents! They needed relief from the unusual challenges of Foster Care and had other important needs as well. The Foster Parent Supplemental Support Program (FPSSP) was established to help meet these needs. more >>

Who Needs a  Foster Parent?

Children who are at the end of their rope emotionally, physically, and psychologically. Thankfully we have Someone who understands this need:

"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:28-29

It has often been said you can lead a horse to water but cannot make him drink. That is true.

But you can offer him refreshment and a way to quench his thirst. A place of peace and respite does a lot to heal damaged emotions.
