Program Summary

In-Home Family Services (IHFS) is an evidence-based, curriculum-driven program that provides intensive, home-based support to youth and families who are experiencing behavioral, family functioning, or safety concerns. Consultants work directly with youth and caregivers in the home and community to implement required evidence-based curriculum while individualizing services to meet each family's unique strengths, needs, and goals.
