FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES OF WEST

The home visiting services program serves families referred by the cws differential response system with children age birth to three. Through its home and visiting team, which includes a home visitor, a counselor, a nurse, and a father specialist the program promotes attachment between caregivers and their children and builds caregivers' skills and abilities to resolve or reduce child abuse and neglect risk factors. In fy 24, we served 22 families with a total of 29 target children. The program works in close partnership with the fatherhood initiative, which delivered services to 7 men in group and other direct services, plus other fathers in public outreach events such as family literacy night, health fairs, etc.
