About the Behavioral Case Aide Role: Fosterful's Behavioral Case Aides provide compassionate, trauma-informed support that empowers foster families to create safe, nurturing environments where youth can heal, grow, and thrive.

The Behavioral Case Aide provides direct, trauma-informed support that promotes placement stability and child wellbeing through skilled behavioral interventions and family partnership.
