Integrated Community Alternatives Network (ICAN)
Our Story
ABOUT ICAN
Founded in 1997, ICAN is a unique home and community-based network that provides individualized and non-traditional services and care to the highest risk individuals and families with social, emotional, mental health and behavioral challenges. ICAN’s team of over 300 staff consisting of care managers, service coordinators, social workers, support specialists, clinical staff and an extensive Independent Practice Association (IPA) of 300 providers work together to provide a platform for support, family reunification and preservation to over 2,100 individuals and families each day – prenatally through end of life.
ABOUT ICAN’S NEW FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER
The Family Resource Center will unite two of our region’s greatest assets: ICAN’s youth and family programs and the Utica Children’s Museum. A hub for learning, wellness, connectedness and FUN, this will be the first time that a children’s museum is co-located and partnered with a human services non-profit.
Project Update:
September 6, 2022: ICAN opened Family Resource Center for services

December 2024: Grand opening of the new Children’s Museum
BE PART OF OUR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN!
Our “Together We Can” Capital Campaign’s goal is to raise $7 million to help complete the Family Resource Center on the Parkway in Utica – home to ICAN’s newest office space and the future home of the Utica Children’s Museum. We are almost at our goal and YOU can help us get there!
We are building a place where there are endless possibilities to learn, play, discover and meet new friends and where families can spend quality time together. It will be a place that reflect our amazing community in so many ways, inspiring us to Love Where We Live. The unique co-location will ALSO help decrease the stigma of mental and behavioral health and increase access to help if it is needed. You can help us build a place like no other. Donate today and help bring wellness and JOY to generations of families.
