Family Preservation
Family is Essential
Family is the most essential influence on children. Our family preservation programs are designed to strengthen and preserve families. Our wide array of services are based both in our client’s homes and in our offices, varying from community to community.
Family Preservation and Support Services assist and support “at risk” families through strength-based, solution-focused services. By reducing risks, resolving differences, and improving interactions, families learn essential skills to incorporate into the home and help them flourish.
Eligibility
Families must be referred to us through one of our contracts with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) or through placement agency foster care providers. We are unable to offer services for self-referrals. Further eligibility varies depending upon the program.
