Abstract

Home-based services have been shown to be an effective and cost-efficient alternative to out-of-home placement for children. Such services can strengthen the natural family unit. The family program demonstrated that positive changes occurred within the five families involved in this study.

Home-based services, such as the program described here, are evolving and developing. The challenge in the area of home-based services is to continue developing viable services that will strengthen families, expand alternatives to out-of-home placement of children, and provide the most effective services to children and their families.
