Institute for Human Services |

Since
1977, the Institute for Human Services (IHS) has worked throughout
the United States and Canada, with both local public human service
agencies and state and provincial governments, to protect children
and strengthen families. IHS is committed to helping agencies
achieve best practice and the highest standards of service. Quality,
integrity, and value are not just IHS goals; they are IHS guarantees.
In our goal to promote best practice, IHS offers research and
evaluation, strategic planning, culture and diversity consultation,
and The Freshment Focus Institute.
