Reasonable Efforts to Preserve or Reunify Families and Achieve Permanency for Children: Summary of State Laws (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781288999286)

Reasonable efforts refer to efforts made by State social services agencies to provide the assistance and services needed to preserve and reunify families. Laws in all States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico require the provision of services that will assist families in remedying the conditions that brought the child and family into the child welfare system. The statutes in most States, however, use a broad definition of what constitutes reasonable efforts.
