counseling or assistance to prevent out-of-home placement.

HBS, the following conditions must be met:
(a) The client has a case open for child
protective services (CPS), child welfare services (CWS), or family
reconciliation services (FRS);
(b)
The department may provide services to the family of origin, relatives, or
foster families when the intent of HBS is to maintain or reunify a permanent or
long-term stable home for the child;
(c) The family is willing and able to
cooperate with HBS services; and

the child may be safely maintained in the home or be safely returned to the
