The Department of Children and Families shall develop or contract for home-based treatment programs designed to provide time-limited, home-based services to families where a child is in imminent danger of being removed from the home and placed in foster care, residential treatment or a psychiatric hospital setting. Such programs shall be designed to prevent the unnecessary separation of children by providing intensive in-home services when an acute crisis threatens the ability of the family to remain together. Intervention may include, but shall not be limited to, intensive family, individual and marriage counseling, training in communication and negotiation skills, training in home maintenance skills, behavioral management training, parent training, child development training, job readiness training, client advocacy and arrangement for other services.
