Our Referral Process
- Referrals are made through the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD).
- A Social Worker will contact the IFP Program to discuss the appropriateness of the referral, and to determine if there is available space in the program.
- Service will begin when an IFP worker receives a referral from the Ministry. IFP will contact the participant directly to arrange home visitation.
