Welfare Services
The
goal of this program is to prevent, intervene and treat child
maltreatment. We provide services to maintain children safely in their own
home when possible or work with families toward reunification when
children must be removed for their own safety. There is an emphasis on
permanency for children rather than leaving them in foster care.
Comprehensive service delivery and counseling by social workers are
core elements of the Child Welfare Services program. This is a counseling
model program rather than an ‘investigative model’. Law enforcement is
an active partner in the program; they investigate allegations of child
abuse which givees the social worker an opportunity to work with the
children and their families.
