RE: family preservation

["Hill, Sean" <shill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

An excellent question.  There's a link to an article on our webpage about
the ineffectiveness of family preservation to prevent out of home
placements.   I hope somebody can come up with some reasons (besides grants
and funding) that FP is still used.

We are reading about in-home services as part of our
agency reading group.  Can anyone answer why states
still use family preservation programs when the
research concludes that they don't prevent placement
or child abuse?  At least when compared with
traditional programs.
