Family strengthening approach towards ensuring reintegration of children restored back to their families from institutionalised care settings in India

Abstract

India has well defined juvenile justice laws and policies which lay the overall framework to protect the rights of children, where institutionalisation is meant to be the last resort for children without parental care. Structured and systematic interventions are required to strengthen the families, empowering them to effectively nurture and care for their children.
