Family Preservation Program Program Overview The Family Preservation Program of Sunrise Children’s Services is an array of short-term, intensive interventions based on the Homebuilders model and designed to maintain children safely in their home, facilitate the safe and timely return home for a child in out of home care (such as foster care or residential treatment) and reduce the reoccurence of abuse or neglect. The program serves families living in Floyd, Johnson, Magoffin, Martin, and Pike counties. Services such as parenting skills education, home maintenance education, job readiness training, appropriate discipline skills, emotions management, and community resource linkage are provided in the client family’s home by a team of clinicians, case managers and support staff that work in conjunction with the state social workers (DCBS) and their teams. The program is goal-oriented and services provided are tailored to the needs of each individual family. This wraparound approach focuses on the uniqueness of each family’s strengths and weaknesses and links them with community-based services and supports in an effort to reduce the need for costly out-of-home care. Sunrise FPP staff are on call 24-hours-a-day seven-days-a-week for referred families to provide assistance when they need it most. Based on the family’s needs and qualifications, services available include: Intensive Family Preservation Services (IFPS) The Intensive Family Preservation program provides short-term, intensive services to families with a child at imminent risk of being removed from their home. The family has contact with their case worker within 24 hours of referral followed by an in-person meeting within the first 72 hours to evaluate the program’s ability to keep the child(ren) safe and determine the family’s willingness to participate. Services last an average of four to six weeks with direct client contact of 8-10 hours per week. Due to the intensive nature of this program, each case worker maintains a case load of four or fewer families at a time. Families and Children Together Safely (FACTS) FACTS is less intensive than the IFPS program and can be used to prevent removal or assist with reunification in lower risk cases. Services are provided for three to eight hours per week and last from four to 27 weeks. Services are provided when there is a moderate risk of a child or children being removed from the home or in situations where the child has been in out-of-home care for 15 of the last 22 months or is expected to return home within the first 15 months. Case workers serve no more than six families at a time. Time-limited Family Reunification Services (FRS) For families where a child or children have already been removed from the home, time-limited family reunification services can assist the family in the return of their child or children if the child or children have not been out of the home for more than 15 months. Services last an average of six to 17 weeks. The case worker has direct contact with the family for three to eight hours per week. Each case worker has no more than six client families at a time.
