Family Preservation

Family Preservation provides intensive in-home and 24-hour crisis intervention services to youth on probation and their families who are experiencing problems that may be contributing to the youth’s unlawful behavior. Families receiving Family Preservation services are seen in their homes at least once or twice weekly by a Family Preservation specialist, and they have 24-hour accessibility to a therapist for emergencies. Family Preservation utilizes counseling, skills-based treatment (parenting, social skills, anger management, conflict resolution, problem solving, and daily living skills), and resource coordination as intervention strategies, based on a plan developed in concert with each family. Services last four to six months and are provided via contract with Lena Pope Home.
