Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study on family preservation services examined the relationship between certain family characteristics and their impact on child placement rates. Information on families that received family preservation services was collected using the Family Assessment Form (1993). The variables that were assessed included family environment, characteristics of the primary caregiver, and family interactions. Overall family functioning was examined to determine the nature and degree of change families were making through preservation services. The purpose of this practicum study was to achieve learning goals that were determined to provide an understanding of family preservation services as well as data collection and analysis in the field of child welfare. The process of collecting information on child placement and assessing data that was collected by the In-Home Crisis Resolution Program provided an excellent learning opportunity to achieve these goals.

Book Synopsis Putting Families First by : John R. Schuerman
Download or read book Putting Families First written by John R. Schuerman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a comprehensive evaluation of the largest randomized experiment to date on placement prevention programs: the Family First program in Illinois. It offers insights into the tensions between policies advocating family preservation and those favoring out-of-home placement. The authors conclude by suggesting that placement prevention programs are but one component in a comprehensive effort to reform the child welfare system, and that those efforts should include both improvements in the foster care system and more refined decision-making in individual cases.
Book Synopsis Family Assessment Form by : Children's Bureau of Southern California
Download or read book Family Assessment Form written by Children's Bureau of Southern California and published by C W L A Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary challenge of delivering and evaluating family-based services lies in successfully assessing changes in families. This guide provides instruction for use of the Family Assessment Form (FAF), an instrument to help practitioners assess families at the beginning of service, develop individualized family service plans, monitor family progress, and assess outcomes for individual families. The FAF is designed as a standardized form that is adaptable for a variety of clinical, procedural, and program needs. Using a 9-point rating scale for individual items, the FAF enables practitioners to complete a psychosocial assessment of six areas of family functioning that is recorded in a quantitative manner and allows for monitoring family progress. The six areas of family functioning assessed by the FAF are: (1) living conditions; (2) financial conditions; (3) support available to caregivers; (4) interactions between caregivers and children; (5) developmental stimulation available to children; and (6) interactions between adult caregivers. The instruction guide provides a rationale for family assessment, details the development of the FAF, describes the FAF, provides information on training individuals to administer the instrument, describes the use of the FAF for program evaluation, discusses its test reliability and validity, and contains instructions for completing the FAF. A complete copy of the instrument is contained in the guide, including the "face sheet," the family functioning factors section, caregiver history and characteristics section, behavior concerns/observation checklist, and the service plan and closing summary. Contains 13 references. (KB)
Book Synopsis Keeping Families Together by : Charlotte Booth
Download or read book Keeping Families Together written by Charlotte Booth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a family's problems become so severe that traditional community resources are unable to help them effectively, caseworkers are usually advised to place children outside the home. Family preservation services such as Homebuilders are designed to give caseworkers and families another option: services that are more intensive, accessible, flexible, and goal-oriented than conventional supports. Instead of relieving family pressure by removing a child, the approach described here adds resources to alleviate pressure and to facilitate the development of a nurturing environment for children within the context of the family. Whereas crisis intervention attempts to resolve immediate problems their approach enables the family to function better after the crisis than before. In addition to their obvious social benefits, family preservation services are cost effective. Straightforward and practice-oriented, Keeping Families Together profiles the kinds of families that are assisted by prevention services such as this, tracing the salient features of its innovative approach to crisis intervention, its organizational features, and its knowledge and research base. Rich in actual examples drawn from family practice, this book will be of great interest to beginning students as well as practitioners in family and children's services. The book is also intended for those who are considering beginning their own Family Preservation Services to evaluate whether or not the approach will be a good fit for them, to become aware of some of the complexities of program design and training so that they can make informed decisions. When the book first appeared, Contemporary Psychology said that it "speaks for itself as a wonderful description of how to be of help to families in crisis."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume assesses the effectiveness of programmes dating back to the 1970s, which sought to reorient child welfare service away from care placements and towards programmes with more emphasis on the family. The questions considered include: whether children in these programmes are representative of the population of children at risk for out-of-home placement; whether these children improve after being involved in the programmes; and what key approaches and features of the programmes are most effective.
