INTENSIVE FOSTER CARE (IFC)
The program can alternatively provide support to prospective kinship or adoptive parents. Our unbundled services provide highly individualized placement supports to a youth at risk of disruption, returning home, or navigating a transition. Our unbundled services program is designed to be flexible and responsive to every family’s individual needs. Services from the program can last from 6 weeks to 6 months as necessary and are always driven by the family’s goals and objectives. CFP believes that children do best in family settings and should remain in their own communities whenever possible.
