(a)(1) Family preservation services shall be provided to those children who are placed out-of-home for whom the goal is reunification and for those children who are at actual, imminent risk of out-of-home placement in situations in which family preservation services afford effective protection of children, youth, families, and the community.

(A) Who are at risk of removal as dependent, abused, or neglected; and

(B) Whose families are in conflict such that they are unable to exercise reasonable control of the child.
