In 1984, the State of Vermont reached out to NFI (North American Family Institute), and invited them to develop programs to divert children and adolescents from state hospitals. NFI met the challenge with a proposal to develop a comprehensive system of care, including crisis stabilization, residential care, and therapeutic foster care. NFI Vermont offers clinical treatment in small programs centered on children and families. Their programs became known as places where the Department of Mental Health’s “bottom line children” could grow and heal. With NFI help, the state of Vermont can rely less on out-of-state and residential placements and more on treating children at home or in their communities. NFI Vermont continues to focus on providing the highest quality services possible, as well as on diversification, particularly in the areas of attachment issues, trauma, alternative educational strategies and refining wraparound services.
