Choices For Life

Serving Georgia

Choices for Life of Georgia is a foster care agency that offers a full array of services for foster children with more intense emotional and behavioral needs.

We offer room, board, and watchful oversight (RBWO) by way of our treatment parents.  CFL also offers many services including: Individual therapy, Group Treatment, Family therapy, Crisis Intervention, and Doctor and Nursing services for the foster children.  

We understand the busy lives that our families lead and provide services to better fit those schedules. We operate on nontraditional weekday hours and also offer weekend appointments for psychiatric and nursing services.  We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for treatment parents and foster children through our on-call therapists.    

Choices for Life provides reimbursement to treatment parents that is set by the Department of Family and Children's Services and is determined based on the level of need a child exhibits.  We offer monthly educational support groups for treatment parents as well as respite care.  We have an open door policy for our treatment parents and as a result have developed a strong team approach focused on providing all that a foster child needs to be successful.
