Home > Family-Centered Practice > Family-Centered Services > Intensive, Family-Centered Crisis Intervention Services Intensive, Family-Centered Crisis Intervention Services Intensive, family-centered crisis intervention services—commonly referred to as family preservation services or intensive family preservation services—are short-term, home-based services provided to families in crisis with the goal of protecting the child, strengthening and preserving the family, and preventing unnecessary out-of-home placement. These services also are used to facilitate reunification of children temporarily in out-of-home care and support permanency following reunification, adoption, or guardianship. Intensive, family-centered crisis intervention services seek to meet their goals by stabilizing the family—helping the family ensure all members are safe, giving the family the tools needed to care for and protect their children, improving family functioning, and building connections to support networks in the community. Intensive, family-centered crisis intervention services share the same characteristics as other family-centered services. However, they are delivered in a more intensive and targeted manner, they focus on families at greater risk of disruption, and they are short term. These services are available to families 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Caseloads are kept low to allow for an intense level of interaction between worker and family and to provide maximum monitoring for safety.
