What Family Focus Incorporated does

Family Focus Incorporated is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social services organization founded in 1989 and headquartered in Valparaiso, Indiana. The company delivers a portfolio of family preservation, crisis intervention, and parenting education programs across 12 Northwest Indiana counties, including Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Jasper, Newton, Starke, Pulaski, St. Joseph, Elkhart, Marshall, and Kosciusko. Its core offerings comprise five program lines: (1) Partners in Parenting, a court-approved three-hour educational class for divorcing or separating parents delivered online ($113/participant) or in-office ($110); (2) KIDS (Kids In Difficult Situations), an intensive home-based therapy and case management program launched in 1995 in Newton County; (3) Father Engagement Services, featuring the 12-week Nurturing Fathers curriculum; (4) Crisis Support Services including counseling, supervised visitation, and PFFA assessments; and (5) Case Management Services for DCS and juvenile probation-involved families.

The organization operates on a hybrid revenue model combining small per-participant fees from voluntary and court-mandated parenting classes with government contracts and grants from the Indiana Department of Child Services (DCS) and juvenile probation departments. DCS- and probation-referred families receive all crisis support services at no cost. The technology infrastructure includes a proprietary Case Management Pro system for tracking client services, Microsoft Teams for virtual class delivery, and an as.me online scheduling and payment platform. The go-to-market motion is referral-driven, relying on institutional relationships with DCS caseworkers, juvenile probation officers, schools, and medical/mental health providers, supplemented by self-referrals and a professional website.

The company employs approximately 24 staff, including licensed therapists, certified parenting instructors, caseworkers, and operations personnel, and reports intake within 48 hours with services typically beginning within one week of referral. As a privately-held nonprofit with no parent company or institutional investors, Family Focus is governed locally with a leadership team overseeing case work, therapy, and operations/billing functions.
