What is the primary task of an Intact Family Caseworker?

1. Arrange adoptions

2. Provide therapy for children

3. Work with families whose children are in out-of-home care

4. Work with families whose children remain at home with parents

The correct answer is: Work with families whose children remain at home with parents

The primary task of an Intact Family Caseworker is to work with families whose children remain at home with parents. This role focuses on providing support, intervention, and resources to families to help them address issues that may impact their ability to provide a safe and stable environment for their children. It involves assessing family strengths and needs, developing service plans, and monitoring progress to ensure the safety and well-being of the children while keeping them in the home whenever possible. The other options are incorrect because: A. Arranging adoptions is typically the responsibility of adoption workers, not Intact Family Caseworkers. B. Providing therapy for children is usually the responsibility of therapists or mental health professionals, not Intact Family Caseworkers. C. Working with families whose children are in out-of-home care is the responsibility of foster care workers or caseworkers responsible for children in substitute care, not Intact Family Caseworkers.
