Narrative

NFI gives one-on-one support services to adults with developmental disabilities (DD) and mental health issues in the North East Area. We help them learn independent living and community skills. We have supported residential settings of their own choosing. NFI has developed a flexible program. We give services to meet each person's needs and likes. Services are based on empowerment, choice, building from strengths, and honoring dignity.

There are 2 main parts to this Program. We offer both direct and indirect supports. Residential Support provides services on a long-term basis to people who live in their own or shared apartments. Staffing levels are based on their need. They may be given up to 24-hours per day. The second part is Intensive Case Management. It serves people with more short-term needs. They benefit from more services when they need it.

Services can be assessments, treatment planning, advocacy and various other interventions. These services have been very effective with people who have had little success in more traditional service settings. Staffing in the Program is flexible to meet everyone's needs.
