What is Family Preservation?
The Family Preservation Program aims to keep children safe at home with their families and reduce the need for children and young people to enter Out of Home Care (OOHC) or have ongoing involvement with the child protection system.
Families Together is a voluntary program that works alongside families to build on their strengths, increase parenting confidence, improve family functioning, and create safe and nurturing home environments for children and young people.Support is tailored to each family’s individual needs and may include:
- Parenting support and skill development
- Child development and wellbeing support
- Practical in-home assistance
- Advocacy and connection to community services
- Support to improve safety, stability, and family relationships
Services are generally delivered for up to 12 months, with the level of support determined collaboratively with each family.
