Intensive In-Home (IIH)

Meeting you where you are.
Life stages offers a highly structured clinical program designed to improve crisis intervention strategies within the family. Intensive In-Home services seek to develop, support, and empower the family unit by teaching problem-solving skills, assisting parents in becoming advocates for themselves, and coordination of available community resources.

What is IIH?

At Life Stages, we’re focused on helping children (4-18) with mental health concerns, as well as their families. Our Intensive In-Home (IIH) program is designed to assist children and families in identifying the cause of troublesome behaviors. This program creates a team between children, families and counselors to provide hands-on support for mental and behavioral changes.

This program model is designed to provide children with concentrated tools to manage their behaviors while maintaining their family and community dynamic. IIH utilizes Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialect Behavioral Therapy (DBT)– interventions that focuses on redirecting negative behavior through positive and empowering self-reflection. The goal of IIH is for the child to work through activities and therapy with their therapeutic team to support productive engagement with family, peers, and the community.
