The HALO Project was created due to the overwhelming emotional needs of children in foster care and the lack of successful interventions available in Oklahoma. In an effort to utilize community resources wisely and establish success, HALO Project partnered with Angels Foster Family Network, a nonprofit foster care agency. HALO Project addresses a systemic unmet need in the foster and adoptive community.

They discovered the TBRI (Trauma Based Relational Intervention) method developed at Texas Christian University and brought it to Oklahoma. Due to the overwhelming success of implementation of the TBRI method, the HALO Project has taken the lead in the foster and adoptive community by providing this successful therapeutic program to meet the emotional and behavioral needs within the community.
