Family Hope House

What Family Hope House does

Family Hope House is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 74-1600437) founded in 2012 and headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that delivers mental health services and professional training targeted at foster, guardianship, and adoptive families in Oklahoma. Its core offering is clinical therapy (individual, family, and group) using trauma- and attachment-focused modalities including Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), Theraplay, Circle of Security, and Play Therapy, delivered in-office at two Tulsa locations, in client homes, in schools, and via virtual platforms. The organization also runs packaged programs such as the 6-week Secure Families intensive (sponsored at $1,000 per family) and the Making Sense of Your Worth group curricula ($35 per session). The 2021 footprint was 424 individuals/families served and 110 hours of community training delivered.

Beyond direct therapy, Family Hope House operates a second revenue and ecosystem layer through professional training, most notably the Training for Adoption Competency (TAC) program. TAC is a year-long, virtually delivered certificate program priced at $1,800 (or 12 monthly payments of $165) and is the only assessment-based certificate program on adoption competency in the U.S. accredited by the Institute of Credentialing Excellence (ICE) and recognized by the California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse for Child Welfare. A network of TAC-trained clinicians across Oklahoma DHS regions functions as both a referral channel and a quality-standardization layer for adoption-competent care.

The business model mixes insurance/SoonerCare/self-pay clinical revenue, paid professional training (TAC, Professional Development), modest group session fees, and a substantial philanthropic subsidy. The annual Boots and Barbeque fundraiser alone reportedly raises nearly half of annual giving, and federal awards (e.g., SLT-1498 from the U.S. Department of Treasury via the City of Tulsa for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren) supplement the funding base. The company is led by founder and Executive Director Leslie Keenan, with a clinical team of licensed counselors, a fiscal manager, and an office manager. Geographic reach is currently Oklahoma with a Tulsa-area concentration.
