Montgomery County - Interagency Family Preservation Services

IFPS is an intensive, short term (maximum 14 weeks) program that combines the wraparound process with Parent-Child Interactive Therapy (PCIT), an evidence-based practice, to offer families opportunities to develop and access comprehensive community-based supports and support the development of strengths-based parenting skills. This program helps to stabilize the family and improve skills that can prevent future involvement with child welfare services.
