Home-based services are more flexible because the services occur in the home and community and can be scheduled more often than is usually true of outpatient counseling. Sometimes Home-Based services are recommended when a child and family have more intensive needs and services are focused on both the child and the family. The goals for Home-based services, how often sessions are scheduled, and what approaches will be used are decided together by the child, family, and Home-based worker. Home-based services are designed to support the child remaining in their family home. Home-based services may also be used when children and families who have been separated are working on being reunified.
