BFFI continues the work launched in 2019 to provide coaching support for family reunification in cases where children have been removed from the home. In addition, BFFI expands its evidence-based practices to promote a Safe and Together¹ method for keeping the children safely with the domestic violence surviving parent.
This method requires strong collaboration with Los Angeles County’s Department of Children and Family Services, Department of Public Health, Department of Mental Health, law enforcement and multiple community-based agencies to support increased competencies and collaboration for the safety and well-being of children – with less reliance on foster care.
