Founded in 1965 as a rural day camp for youth in Lyon County, Kansas, TFI Family Services is now a statewide nonprofit child welfare organization who served over 3,000 children and families last year. The primary programs within the agency’s continuum of care include foster care, family permanency, family preservation, behavioral health services including substance abuse treatment and transitional living. The organization’s motto of “Building brighter tomorrows for families and children” illuminates its mission to build and maintain permanency for children and their families whose lives have been disrupted and damaged by abuse, neglect and family dysfunction.

TFI employs in excess of 300 personnel and a network of more than 600 resource families, the largest percentage of which are involved in the direct provision of services to children and families. The organization’s administrative and support staff, though not directly assigned to the project, provide critical support roles in agency administration, finance, human resources, quality improvement, MIS, training and information management. This project is within the Care Management Department which consists of six divisions, including Intake, Care Management, Transportation, Utilization Review, Quality Improvement and Licensing.
