The Department of Children Services has partnered with the Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities to start a program that aims to put money in the pockets of families and guardians who are caring for children in foster care that also have intellectual disabilities. The Tennessee Strong Families Healthcare Reimbursement Account provides up to $20,000 annually for those families. Podcast host, Jonquil Newland, sits down with Babs Tierno, the deputy director of Tennessee Strong Families with the Tennessee Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities to discuss the details.
