Abstract

The Family First Preservation Services Act (FFPSA) was passed in 2018 in part to increase use of evidence-based services among child welfare systems (CWS). As such, states have implemented new service models in order to fit legislation. The current manuscript reports on perspectives of CWS workers across one state regarding the utility of a new intensive family preservation services model.
