Children, infants to eighteen years of age, and families at risk of separation for any reason are the focus of our services; that may include the children and families in the planning stages of reunification. Children are best cared for by their families - to best care for children we offer support and services to their families as well as to the individual child. Permanency, safety and well-being for children guide the direction of our services.
