Do you need an IN-HOME service to support the needs of your child? Possible reasons for in-home services include: We have had treatment before but my child's difficulties have worsened. * My child is getting in trouble with the law. * I worry for the safety of my child or our family. * My child needs help returning to the community. * I am worried that my child will need placement out of my home.* OR * I need someone to come into our home to see what is going on and help us figure out what we need.
