Family Preservation Services
Family Preservation Services
- Family preservation services are short-term, family-focused services designed to assist families in crisis by improving parenting and family functioning while keeping children safe. Family preservation services grew out of the recognition that children need a safe and stable family and that separating children from their families is traumatic for them, often leaving lasting negative effects. These services build upon the conviction that many children can be safely protected and treated within their own homes when parents are provided with services and support that empower them to change their lives.

Advocates Tell Supreme Court that DACA Repeal Would Hurt Children.
Advocates argue 250,000 children would suffer if the Supreme Court Justices uphold the Trump Administration’s decision to eliminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals programs. They say that “These children are endangered not only by the actual detention and deportation of their parents but also the looming fear of deportation.” In addition to that is “The imminent threat of losing DACA protection places children at risk of losing parental nurturance, as well as losing income, food security, housing, access to health care, etc.
DACA states that “The well-being of children and the importance of Family Preservation are fundamental values in our society.”
