Description:
The Indiana Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health (IFFCMH) is the only statewide not-for-profit organization dedicated exclusively to the field of children’s mental health. We were founded in 1995 and were incorporated as a 501 (c) 3 in 1998. The organization was created by combining two statewide family organizations, the Indiana Family Support Network and the Family Action Network. IFFCMH was the recipient of the SAMHSA Statewide Family Network grant from 1998 to 2010 and has re-applied for 2013 to 2016.
