Description
Provides evidence-based and trauma-informed mental health, substance use disorder, and in-home parent skill based training to children at imminent risk of entering foster care and their families. The reimbursable services are included in the federal title IV-E Prevention Services Clearinghouse. Also provides funding to create an evidence-based practices evaluation team. An evaluation team is required by the FFPSA to ensure that the provision of evidence-based practices provided to children and families are producing the desired outcomes to improve the safety, permanency and well-being of children. Funding was separately reallotted during the 2020 Special Session I to provide phased-in funding for local departments of social services to begin hiring staff and creating their prevention services departments in response to the FFPSA.
