Family-Based Care
Family-Based Care is a type of child welfare approach that prioritizes placing children in the care of their own families or relatives whenever possible. This method aims to maintain family connections and provide a stable environment for children, promoting their emotional and social well-being. It often involves support services to help families address challenges and improve their ability to care for children.
In situations where children cannot remain with their biological families, kinship care is often utilized, where relatives or close family friends take on caregiving roles. This approach helps preserve family ties and cultural identity, ensuring that children grow up in familiar surroundings while receiving the necessary support and guidance.
