Core Services

Early Intervention

The Early Intervention Program provides preventive support services to families that have some indicators of problematic family functioning that are not significant enough for CPS intervention or for families with a low assessed future risk of maltreatment.

We can help families before they reach the point of needing Child Protective Services (CPS) intervention. Services include intensive home visitation, case management, and referral services.

Wrap-Around Services

Wrap-around services are comprehensive home-based mental health treatment and case management services designed to provide critical support to permanency or family preservation with the intent of promoting safe and stable families and/or early reunification.

Wrap-around services are used to support children placed in DFCS foster homes, reunited with birth families, or placed with relative caregivers who receive a relative support subsidy.

Parent Aide
