Intensive In-Home (IIH) is a home-based, highly supportive and comprehensive program that provides stability for children, adolescents, and their family who are experiencing a mental health crisis. By design, IIH services are more intensive than traditional mental health services as they focus on the stabilization of the child across multiple settings with the goal of decreasing future hospitalizations or other high-level out of home placements.

Individual and family counseling: Therapeutic interventions for both the child and the family. 

Case management: Assistance with accessing and coordinating with other community resources, such as educational, medical, and social services. 

Crisis support: 24/7 crisis response is often a feature of these programs. 

Behavioral interventions and skills training: Strategies for managing behavior and building skills, such as problem-solving, time management, and relationship building. 

Parent coaching: Support to help parents manage their child's symptoms and advocate for their needs.
