Supporting Families Since the 1990s

Our roots go back to 1990, when we began serving children with developmental disabilities in therapeutic foster care programs as MENTOR Maryland.

Transitional Supports

The transition from childhood to young adult responsibilities can be a challenging one. Institute for Family Centered Services, Inc. helps youth with disabilities, mental health challenges, and other needs develop skills and supportive relationships to help them get ready for independent living, school, and work. We get to know each young person to learn about their interests and goals. Then, we create a transition support plan just for them that helps them build routines and independent living skills through services such as our Teens in Transition program.
