Family Preservation Resource Directory
The Administration for Native Americans (ANA), within the Administration for Children
and Families (ACF), created the Family Preservation Initiative to promote culturally
suitable strategies that strengthen Native American communities.
The goal of the Family Preservation Initiative is to increase the well-being of children
through family preservation activities; increase the percentage of children raised in
healthy family environments; increase public awareness in communities about the value
of healthy families, relationships, marriages, and responsible fatherhood; ensure that
relationship, marriage, fatherhood, and family services are traditionally and culturally
appropriate; increase the percentage of involvement by absentee parents in the lives of
their children; foster healthy relationships, marriages, families and responsible fathers;
and increase the percentage of Native homes that are free from domestic violence and abuse
against children.
ANA’s Family Preservation Initiative is focused on strengthening children, families and
communities. Below is a list of the overall program areas for the Family Preservation
Special Initiative:
- Pre-marital and marital education
