The Family Preservation program provides solution-focused counseling and case management services to youth on probation and their families by helping them successfully complete probation requirements. These services include individual and family counseling, parent education, multi-family groups, coordination and advocacy for access to community resources, and Juvenile Court assistance in conjunction with the youth’s probation officer.

The program takes approximately four months to complete, but may take longer to meet additional requirements specified by the Travis County Probation Department.

Who is Eligible?

Referrals for this program are made by the Travis County Juvenile Probation Department for youth previously adjudicated and currently serving probation. Families often have demonstrated conflict placing an at-risk youth into alternative programs and may require intensive treatment and support. Youth served also often exhibit a decrease in functioning either at home, in school, with peers, or the community over the past six months.

What to Expect

• Once deemed eligible, FPP's Program Manager will assign each referred case to the appropriate FPP Counselor who will begin the admissions process.
• During intake, the youth and parent/guardian will sign all required consents and authorizations to reflect a 4 month program time.
• An assessment report will be completed, and an individualized solution-focused Service Plan is developed with client input, after which the case is admitted and enrolled in the program for services.
