•  FAMILY PRESERVATION

The mentors and the social workers are the key staff responsible for working with the families at risk. Family preservation promotes the perspective that the best way to achieve permanency in the lives of children is to be with their families and to work with the family to try to prevent the placement of children outside the family care.

This program refers to family services which are family centred, crisis-oriented and characteristics such as being  delivered in the home, being of an intensive nature, of short duration as well as focusing on family strengths.

These services are designed to provide individualized and immediate assistance to families when the child is at imminent risk of being removed from the home.

The goal is to preserve the family while ensuring that the child/children are safe and also while helping the family learn the necessary skills to stay together successfully.
