Some programs make a distinction between these and intensive family preservation services that are time-limited and intensive, providing up to 20 hours per family per week. Evaluations of the effectiveness of family preservation services, including intensive family preservation services, examine the extent to which services reduce out-of-home placement, maintain child safety, and improve family functioning. Research describes family preservation programs in different jurisdictions and identifies factors and specific services associated with improved outcomes, best practices, and suggested improvements.
