Starting October 1, 2019, a full scope of updates to the Family First Prevention Service Act will take effect. The implementation of this new policy will bring important opportunities and additional federal resources to improve child safety, reduce abuse and neglect, while strengthening the capacity of families to effectively meet the needs of their children.
Some examples of how the law will change include:
- availability of funds to provide prevention services for children at-risk of entering foster;
- mental health and substance abuse prevention and treatment services;
- new resources to family-connected caregivers including grandparents, and any other relatives helping to raise children
- in-home parent skill-based services; and,
- specialized services for youth at-risk of becoming victims of sex trafficking.
