family support services

Kin aid programs

Family support services are programs that help families function well and stay together.

These typically include counseling, parenting education, childcare assistance, financial guidance, and crisis intervention.

The term appears most often in social work and government contexts: The county offers family support services to at-risk households.

Such services aim to prevent family breakdown rather than respond after it occurs.
