IPS services cover over 32 counties in Southern, IL. PII is a federal grant that was awarded to IDCFS to improve permanency for youth in care. Illinois selected and is using an evidence-based intervention, TARGET, that is designed to help youth and family members learn how to better manage stress, learn effective emotion regulation, and thus help improve relationships between family members.
