Article Abstract:

A reunification program based on the Intensive Family Preservation Services (IFPS) model, which involves a combination of family preservation and enhanced foster services, is 79% successful in reuniting foster children with their families. A follow-up after one year shows that 91% of the reunified children are still living with their family. The application of IFPS model with a frequent visiting schedule, specialized foster parent training, frequent and supportive social worker contact with foster families and relations between foster families and childrens' families has significant impact on reunification.
