Structured Support for
Families in the Home
Intensive In-Home (IIH) Services provide structured, clinical support delivered directly in the home, at school, and in the community for children and adolescents ages 5 to 17 who are experiencing significant emotional or behavioral challenges.
IIH meets families where behaviors actually happen, in the spaces where children live, learn, and grow. The goal is to stabilize the home, strengthen family relationships, and prevent more restrictive placements like hospitalization, residential treatment, or foster care.

When Intensive In-Home May Be Appropriate
IIH may be appropriate when:
- A child or teen (ages 5 to 17) is dealing with ongoing behavioral or emotional challenges
- Family conflict is making it hard to keep things safe or stable at home
- Outpatient therapy on its own is not enough to make a difference
- There is risk of the child being placed outside the home, including hospitalization, residential treatment, or foster care
- A more frequent, structured level of support is needed in the home and community
If you are not sure whether IIH is the right level of care for your child, our team can walk you through the assessment process and help you figure out next steps.

Community-Based Support Across Our Service Region
IIH treats the whole family as part of the work, not just the child. Our team is in the home, on the ground, working alongside parents and caregivers so the strategies that build stability are practiced in real settings with real support. The result is care that holds up after services end.

Common Questions, Clear Answers
Frequency is set by the clinical assessment based on each person's needs and goals. Skill Building is typically delivered through multiple visits each week, with sessions held in the home, in the community, or virtually when appropriate. Our team adjusts the schedule as progress is made.
Yes. IIH is a family-centered service, and active caregiver participation is essential to its success. Our team works directly with parents and caregivers to build skills, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change at home. Family involvement is not optional; it is the foundation of how IIH works.
Length of services depends on each family's progress toward the goals set in the Individualized Service Plan. IIH is designed to be intensive but time-limited, with most families participating for several months as they work toward stability. Our team reviews progress regularly and adjusts the timeline based on the family's needs.
No. IIH works alongside school-based services, not in place of them. Our team coordinates closely with schools, teachers, and counselors to support consistency between home and school. If your child is receiving Therapeutic Day Treatment (TDT) or other school-based supports, IIH can complement those services rather than replace them.
