Family Reintegration

FAMILY REINTEGRATION

Reuniting children with their families isn’t just an ideal—it’s a biblical calling and an evidence-based strategy. This course walks you through the full process of family reintegration: helping children safely return to family care after separation.

You’ll learn how to assess family readiness, prepare children and caregivers, support placements with practical tools, and monitor outcomes over time. Whether you’re working with biological parents, kinship caregivers, or alternative placements, this course equips you with the structure and strategy to make family reunification safe, successful, and lasting.

• A 6-step framework for reintegration: screening, assessment, case planning, implementation, monitoring, and closure
• Guidance on family tracing, placement planning, and stakeholder engagement
• Templates for case planning, family assessment, caregiver prep, and team discussion
• Wisdom for addressing trauma, safety, cultural barriers, and post-placement challenges
• A CAFO Certificate of Completion to demonstrate your learning
