Welcome!

New Horizons Child and Family Institute brings research-driven, family-based mental health care so that your neurodivergent child or teen finally gets the help they need.

Forty years of research have shown that one of the most effective ways to treat childhood mental illness is through family-based therapy. Intensive Family-Focused Therapy (IFFT) can help resolve moderate to severe mental health conditions even when other treatments have failed.

"We were at a point where we felt lost and everything was out of control. We struggled with regaining balance in our household and with trying to effectively parent a child who self-harms. This program has been better than we could have ever imagined. We are working hard and making progress little by little. When we go through challenging weeks/days, we finally have the support we need to navigate those waters."

Watch the video to learn how IFFT improves mental health for neurodivergent children and teens through family-focused services, science-driven interventions, and expert clinical care.
