What Are Intensive
In-Home Services (IIH)?
Intensive In-Home Services (IIH) provide therapeutic support for children and adolescents who are at risk of out-of-home placement due to behavioral or emotional challenges.
Services are delivered in the youth’s home and community, focusing on crisis stabilization, family engagement, and skill development.
