What is IFC?
The Omni Family has a long history of providing exceptional support with a focus on safety, permanency and well being. Intensive Foster Care Services (IFCS) supports young people, ages 5-19, who are in a home that contributes to placement instability or transitioning from another placement. OFS of Indiana will work with treatment teams to determine our capacity to serve referred youth with I/DD and autism diagnoses. Additionally, we provide IFC services to youth in DCS foster homes or placed with non-licensed kin. We do not currently provide services for youth placed in LCPA homes.
A Whole Family Approach
Omni’s approach is rooted in the evidence-based practice TBRI® (Trust-Based Relational Intervention). Using TBRI’s Connecting, Empowering, and Correcting Principles and Strategies, caring adults learn to use the power of secure attachment and trust-building skills in their everyday relationships with struggling kids, to guide them back to a path of healthy development that was sidetracked by early adversity.
