MiFamily Together
We Can Do Anything Together!
MiFamily Together is a family preservation and reunification, home-based program that offers families flexible services that adapt to their needs. MiFamily Together is designed to decrease the risk of child maltreatment while also helping to increase wellbeing and prosperity of each family member.
Samaritas is now an official network partner of Ascend at the Aspen Institute — a national initiative advancing two-generation (2Gen) strategies to improve family economic security, health, and well-being.
This recognition reflects Samaritas’ expanding role in collaborative, statewide initiatives such as MiFamily Together, a family preservation pilot designed to prevent family separation and strengthen long-term family stability across Michigan. Read More
What to Expect
Face-to-face hours increase or decrease depending on need, and families maintain the same worker and private agency without being referred to services as their needs change. MiFamily Together will use the 2Gen approach to provide equitable services that address the needs of all family members and increase each family’s community support network. MiFamily Together is a developing, hybrid family preservation service model that will replace the current, fragmented, central office administered family preservation service array by 2027.
MiFamily Together will have broader eligibility and flexibility to serve families as their needs change including prevention, preservation, and reunification services of any intensity of need, under one program. Families participating in MiFamily Together will work with one team and one service provider to address abuse or neglect concerns instead of referrals to multiple programs and/or service providers as their needs change.
