Family Finding model

The Family Finding model is a child-centered approach used in child welfare to help children connect with their family and kinship networks. Its goal is to identify and engage family members or close contacts who can provide emotional support, stability, and a sense of belonging. By actively researching and building these relationships, the model aims to keep children connected to their families whenever possible, promoting their well-being and safety. Essentially, it’s about finding and strengthening natural family ties to support the child's healthy development and stability within a supportive network.
