Family Preservation Programs | Children's Home Association of Illinois - Intact Family Services

Description

Children Need their families and families need their children. Intact Family Services is a voluntary program designed to keep each family intact when the threat of separation is real. This program works with at-risk families who have been referred for continuing assistance and monitoring following a child abuse and neglect investigation with the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). The goals of this program are to enable children to remain safely in their home, make reasonable efforts to keep families together, address and resolve the issues that place the children at risk, and to avoid having children separated from their family. Children's Home Association of Illinois caseworkers will help the family develop a short-term, agreed upon plan to make the changes that will help keep children safe. They will act as a support system and resource without judgement, working to ensure all children in the home are safe and supported.
