Target Population: Families with children ages 0-17 being reunified from foster care or relative placement.
Brief Description:(The information in this program outline is provided by the program representative and edited by the CEBC staff.)
The Michigan Family Reunification Program has been reviewed by the CEBC in the area of Reunification, but lacks the necessary research evidence to be given either a Scientific Rating or a Child Welfare Relevance Rating. The program is designed to assist in an early return to a permanent family for children in out-of-home foster care placement. In addition, it is designed to reduce repeat placement through a planned process of reunifying children in out-of-home care with their families using a variety of services. It is also designed to provide support in achieving and maintaining permanency in the family home.
