Welcome to the National Family Preservation Network

NFPNOur mission is to serve as the primary national voice for the preservation of families through Intensive Family Preservation and Reunification Services (IFPS & IFRS). NFPN has developed a comprehensive fatherhood initiative, because fathers are an integral part of families. We believe that children deserve to remain safely with their families when possible, and that all efforts must be made to reunite children with their families, when it is safe to do so.

NFPN provides the vision, leadership, training, tools, and resources to assist policy makers and practitioners to build on a family's strengths and to preserve family bonds so children can be protected and nurtured at home.

Please take a little time to read through our Web site. Below you will find some of our current articles and news stories, or watch our short introduction video. Thank you.

Twenty (20) teams of public child welfare agencies/tribal agencies along with a court partner will be brought together to share knowledge, challenges, and successes over the course of two years. Participating jurisdictions will identify, develop, and test potentially promising strategies for improving practice in their child welfare and court systems that will ultimately support and improve timely permanence through reunification. The teams will be selected through a competitive application process.
