Family preservation programs
Family preservation programs are specialized services designed to keep families together when facing challenges that might lead to child neglect or separation. They offer support such as counseling, parenting help, and resources to address issues like substance abuse, mental health, or economic hardship. The goal is to strengthen family functioning and ensure children’s safety and well-being while maintaining family bonds. These programs prioritize intervention and support early on, aiming to resolve problems collaboratively rather than removing children from their homes whenever safely possible.
