Intensive, in-home family-based services significantly improved child welfare reunification rates. This family reunification intervention demonstrated lasting positive effects for families in out-of-home care.

Area of Science:

  • Child welfare research
  • Family therapy and intervention
  • Social work practice

Background:

  • Child placement in out-of-home care often leads to family separation.
  • Reunification services are critical for family preservation.
  • Effectiveness of intensive interventions requires further study.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of intensive, in-home family-based services for family reunification.
  • To compare reunification rates between intensive treatment and routine care.
  • To assess the long-term impact of the intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Randomized controlled trial comparing intensive family-based services with routine out-of-home care.
  • A 90-day intensive service period for the treatment group.

  • Follow-up data collection at 6 and 12 months post-intervention.

    • Main Results:

    • A 93% reunification rate in the intensive treatment group versus 28% in the control group.
    • Significant positive impact on families observed.
    • Treatment effects persisted for at least 12 months after service cessation.

    Conclusions:

    • Intensive, in-home family-based services are highly effective in reunifying families.
    • The intervention demonstrates a substantial and enduring positive impact on family outcomes.
    • This model offers a promising approach for child welfare services.
