Narrative

IFC is a program for children through young adulthood (birth through their 22nd birthday) who are in the custody of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families. Children may be facing additional challenges including behavioral or emotional problems, medical conditions, physical handicaps and/or development delays.

We believe that children do best in family settings and should remain in their own community whenever possible. We also offer unbundled services from the Intensive Foster Care (IFC) team to work with potential kinship or adoptive parents. These services can last six weeks to six months. They are driven by the family’s goals and objectives to help ease difficulties transitions, return a child home, or work to prevent a child from being removed from their home.
