Whitington Homes and Services for Children and Families is a social services, not-for-profit agency, committed to providing the highest quality of care for children who have experienced homelessness, abuse, neglect, delinquency, and abandonment. The children and families are referred to us by the Department of Child Services and the Juvenile Justice System. We are licensed to serve the State of Indiana. Our primary service sector is Allen and surrounding counties with an additional focus on Northeast Indiana. In 1995, we located to our present site at 2423 Fairfield Avenue. 

We serve children and families in their homes that are at risk or in crisis.  Our Case Managers and Therapists go into the homes and support and stabilize the families through therapy, parenting education, abuse recovery, conflict resolution, and other therapeutic strategies.  We also provide Home Studies for people that are going through the adoption or foster care process.   Our goal is to keep families together and to help them succeed - strong families make strong communities.  As you look through our Web site you will notice that our Home-Based Department is comprised of two programs: Home Based Family Centered Casework and Home-Based Family Centered Therapy Services. A more intensive family preservation and reunification service is our Homebuilders Program.  Whitington provides Family Prepparation/Adoption Home Study for those going through the adoption process and we also provide FosterHome Studies/Updates/Re-Licensing Studies.  The CA-PRTF provides a program for children and youth with serious emotional problems that will allow your family to recieve extra help in your home - this is a self-referral program.
