Family Preservation

Help Families Stay Intact!

Through Samaritas’ Family Preservation programs, we seek to guide parents toward creating a satisfying, nurturing home life for the entire family, to keep children in their natural setting with their biological parents.

Samaritas provides a continuum of services through our family preservation programs. Focused on the strengths of the family, we guide families toward keeping children safe in their own home.
