Helping Families

The mission of the National Family Preservation Network (NFPN) is to serve as the primary national voice for the preservation of families.

What is NFPN?

The National Family Preservation Network is...

A private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1992. We have a proactive board and staff with many years of experience in providing services that strengthen families through our far-reaching network supported by individuals, businesses, organizations, foundations, and governments sharing NFPN’s mission and goals.

NFPN is the national leader in:

Developing and testing family assessment tools. Over 1000 agencies around the world use the assessment tools in more than 20 countries. Each tool has been field-tested successfully to establish reliability and validity. The NCFAS-G+R has an “A” rating on the California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse for Child Welfare.
Developing training materials on father-involvement. NFPN developed the first-of-its-kind fatherhood training curriculum and successfully completed the first-ever demonstration project showing that with training and assistance, child welfare workers increased their efforts to involve fathers in their children’s lives.
Linking cutting-edge research, tools, and resources to direct services. Over two dozen research studies of NFPN’s tools and resources are linked to effective services in the areas of family preservation, reunification, father-involvement, prevention and early intervention, juvenile justice, housing services, school programs, and home visitation.
