A Shared Living Provider (SLP) is an individual or family who opens their home to a person with developmental or intellectual disabilities, providing them with personalized care and support in a safe, family-like environment. Unlike traditional facility-based care, shared living focuses on integration, independence, and inclusion, helping each individual live a meaningful life within a community setting.

At TEAM-LLC (Together Everyone Achieves More, LLC), we believe that every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and supportive home where they can grow, heal, and thrive. Through our Foster Care Training and Placement Program, we work hand in hand with families and communities to ensure foster children receive the love, stability, and guidance they need.

TEAM-LLC is licensed to provide foster care placements for children who cannot safely remain in their biological homes. Our placement process is carefully structured to match each child with the right foster family:

• Safe and Loving Homes: Children are placed in family environments where they are valued, respected, and cared for.
   
• Individualized Matching: Placements are made based on the child’s age, needs, interests, and unique circumstances.
   
• Ongoing Case Management: Our team works closely with foster parents, biological families (when appropriate), and caseworkers to ensure the best outcomes for children.
   
• 24/7 Support: Foster families receive around-the-clock support to navigate challenges and celebrate successes.
   

TEAM-LLC prepares foster families through comprehensive training programs designed to equip them with the skills and confidence needed to care for foster children:

• Pre-Service Training: Foster parents complete certification training that covers trauma-informed care, child development, safety, and legal requirements.
   
• Ongoing Education: Continuous learning opportunities, including workshops, online modules, and in-person coaching.
   
• Specialized Topics: Training includes behavior management, cultural competency, emotional regulation, attachment and bonding, and supporting children with special needs.
   
• Peer and Professional Support: Foster parents are connected to mentors, peer networks, and professional staff for ongoing encouragement and advice.
   

• Child-Centered Approach: Every decision prioritizes the best interest and long-term well-being of the child.
   
• Community of Care: TEAM-LLC builds strong partnerships between foster families, schools, healthcare providers, and community organizations.
   
• Empowerment for Families: Foster parents are valued as partners and equipped with resources to succeed in their role.
